Event or Problem Description
|
|
The physician deployed 3 elunir stents in the patient's lad.Each stent delivered with no problem to the intended location.Prox,mid, and distal lad.When the physician tried to withdraw the balloons after deployment of the stents, each one was sticking to the stent and was difficult to withdraw.The physician commented that our balloons are "sticky" and don't separate easily from the stents once deployed.It was a problem.He had to wiggle them for about 3 seconds each and pull back more than normal causing the guide to advance.There was no patient issues afterwards.All 3 balloons were discarded immediately after the procedure and are not available to send in.
