Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a moderately tortuous distal posterolateral branch that did not have any calcification and was 90% stenosed.Pre-dilatation was performed with a 2.0 x 12 mm traveler balloon dilatation catheter (bdc).An attempt was then made to deploy a 2.5 x 23 mm xience xpedition stent; however, the stent delivery balloon failed to inflate after several attempts and kept losing pressure when inflated.The device did not meet any resistance during advancement.The stent delivery system was then removed from the anatomy and saline was injected through the catheter, which revealed a leakage coming from the proximal shaft as there was a tear.Therefore, the device was replaced with a 2.5 x 18 mm xience xpedition stent to successfully complete the procedure.There was no clinically significant delay in the procedure and no adverse patient effects.No additional information was provided.
