Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a lesion in the mid left anterior descending artery with moderate calcification.Two xience alpine stent delivery systems (a 2.25x23mm and 3x18mm) were advanced toward the target lesion, the systems were inflated up to 10 atmospheres and the stents were implanted in an overlapping fashion.However, the balloons could not be removed from the stents after deployment.It was suspected that the balloons were stuck within the stents after deployment.The physician re-inflated the balloons up to 2 atmospheres and then deflated the balloons.The balloons were finally withdrawn with resistance due to the stents.Post dilatation was performed on both stents per standard procedure.There was no adverse patient effect and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
