Manufacturing review: a manufacturing review could not be performed as the lot number was not provided.Medical records review: following successful inferior vena cava (ivc) filter retrieval, attention was turned to the occluded left iliofemoral system.A laser ablation catheter was inserted and used to successfully perform laser thrombectomy through the occluded left iliofemoral venous system.A 12mm x 6cm balloon was used to perform venoplasty along the left iliofemoral system.Post venoplasty venogram was performed as the sheath was retracted.Repeat balloon venoplasty was performed in an area of persistent narrowing n the external iliac vein at the junction of existing non-overlapping stents.At this time, the balloon would not deflate.A 21 gauge needle was inserted under fluoroscopy to access the balloon which resulted in good decompression.The balloon was easily removed.Two stents were deployed with additional angioplasty to complete the procedure.The sheaths were removed and hemostasis was achieved with manual compression.The patient was hospitalized overnight for observation.Investigation summary: the device was not returned for evaluation.Images were not provided for review.Medical records were provided and reviewed.A 12mm x 6cm atlas balloon was advanced over the wire and venoplasty was performed along the left iliofemoral system.Balloon venoplasty was performed in an area of persistent narrowing in the ely, at the junction of existing non-overlapping stents.At this time, the angioplasty balloon would not deflate.Therefore, based on the medical records, the investigation can be confirmed for failure to deflate.The definitive root cause for the deflation issue could not be determined based upon available information.Labeling review: the review of the ifu (instructions for use), indications, warnings, precautions, cautions, possible complications, and contraindications showed that the product labeling is adequate.
