It was reported that balloon rupture occurred.Vascular access was obtained utilizing an ipsilateral antegrade approach.The 99% stenosed target lesion was located in the moderately tortuous and severely calcified superficial femoral artery.After a guide wire crossed the lesion, a 2mmx20mmx142cm coyote¿ es balloon catheter was advanced for dilation.However, on the first inflation at 5 atmospheres, the balloon ruptured after being inflated for 5 seconds.The device was removed from the patient's body.The procedure was completed with another coyote nc balloon catheter.No patient complications were reported and the patient's status was good.

Device evaluated by mfr: returned device consisted of a coyote es balloon catheter with blood in the balloon and air lumen.The balloon was loosely folded.Functional testing was performed by connecting an inflation device filled with water to the hub.When pressure was applied, water was found to be leaking from the balloon.Microscopic examination found a pinhole burst in the balloon material, 6 mm from the tip of the device.Microscopic inspection of the markerband, the bond and the tip found no irregularities or defects.Inspection of the remainder of the device, apart from the observed damage, revealed no other damage or irregularities.The manufacturing batch record review confirmed that the device met all material, assembly and performance specifications.The most probable root cause is operational context as device performance was limited due to anatomical procedural factors.(b)(4).
