Event Description

It was reported that after unpackaging and prepping a 5.0mm x 60mm x 80cm armada 35 balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) without issue, the bdc was advanced via right brachial access to a non-calcified, non-tortuous arterio-venous (av) fistula without resistance.The armada 35 was inflated without difficulty, but inflation reportedly felt unusual.Dilatation was completed without difficulty, however, the balloon was unable to be deflated at all and was consequently difficult to remove from the av fistula.Force was applied to retract and wedge the inflated balloon into the guiding catheter then all devices were withdrawn from the anatomy as a single unit.There were no adverse patient effects and no occurrence of a clinically significant delay.No additional information was provided.
