Event or Problem Description

|
It was reported that during a procedure involving one nc euphora coronary balloon, a balloon rupture occurred during balloon inflation.The lesion being treated was non tortuous, non calcified with 90% stenosis in the proximal right coronary artery (rca).The device was inspected before use with no issues noted.Negative prep was performed with no issues noted.The lesion was pre-dilated.The device did pass through a previously deployed stent.Resistance was not encountered when advancing the device.The nc euphora balloon was inflated once at 14atm for 10 seconds in the proximal rca lesion for post dilation of the stent when it ruptured.The nc euhpora was pulled back into the right radial artery for removal.However difficulties were encountered removing the device.The device would not fit through the 6f radial sheath.It was attempted to pull the wire and guide out with balloon/catheter inside.However, the distal end/balloon tip of the nc euphora balloon then fractured off and became dislodged in the patients radial artery.As a result, the patient was sent to vascular surgery for removal and further vessel injury.The detached part of the device was successfully removed.The patient was discharged 6 days later and went home in good recovery.The patient was reported to be alive with injury.No further patient complications were reported as a result of the event.
