Event Description

It was reported that blade detachment occurred. The 80% stenosed target lesion was located in the moderately tortuous non-calcified subclavian vein. A 6. 00mm/ 2. 0cm/ 90cm peripheral cutting balloon¿ was selected for use along with a 6fr sheath and 0. 018 guidewire. The device was prepped and introduced into the patient. The device was inflated at nominal pressure and some recoil was suspected during applying pressure process. Dilatation was performed five times in the same area at nominal pressure. A good dilatation of the lesion area was obtained. When withdrawing the balloon catheter from the patient's body, it was noted that one blade came off the balloon. No resistance was felt during removal. Consequently, the physician performed fluoroscopy and ct examination and confirmed no blade was left inside the patient's body. Furthermore, the physician performed flushing of the sheath to search for the blade; however, the blade was not found. Lastly, the blade was searched inside the tray after but still not found. There was no abnormality or symptoms observed from the patient. The procedure was completed with this device. No patient complications were reported and patient's status was stable.
