Manufacturer Narrative
(b)(4).Evaluation summary: the distal tip was damaged.There was no evidence of any material detachment of the balloon.During the analysis the device failed negative prep.Pressure was applied to the device and liquid was seen exiting the balloon, confirming the presence of a leak.A pin-hole leak was detected approx.8.5 mm from the distal tip.The leak site was jagged and uneven.A lead in scratch was evident distal to the leak site.
 
Event Description
It was reported that the physician was attempting to use a sprinter legend balloon to post-dilate a bifurcation lesion stented in the om and cx, dilating the struts of stent in cx into om.The om had 60-70% stenosis at the ostium and minimal tortuosity.The device was inspected prior to use with no issues noted.Negative prep was performed with no issues.Resistance was noted while advancing to the lesion however excessive force was not used.It is reported that an inflation pressure of 12atm was applied however the balloon never inflated as expected.The physician stated they only saw contrast being injected into the artery.It is reported that the device was pulled back and removed from the body, when the physician noticed the balloon material was no longer on the balloon catheter, it was thought that the balloon material had sheared off the balloon catheter and that the balloon material is still in the left main coronary artery.The procedure was completed.The patient was put on ecmo and is in critical condition.The patient was subsequently taken off ecmo but remained in intensive care.Review of the returned device confirmed that the balloon material has not detached.
