A euphora balloon catheter was attempted to be used to treat a moderately tortuous, moderately calcified lesion with 95% stenosis in the proximal-mid lad.There was no damage noted to the device packaging.There were no issues noted when removing the device from the hoop.The device was inspected with no issues.Negative prep was performed with no issues.The device was not kinked and re-straightened during use.Two balloons were inside the guide catheter, the euphora balloon and an unknown brand balloon.It was reported that the devices became entangled and could not be advanced.When an attempt was made to remove the balloon, a detachment occurred.The euphora balloon separated from the delivery system.All components stayed in the guide catheter and were removed together when the guide was removed.No components remain in the patient.It is also reported that the catheter became stretched.No other devices were tried after they removed the guide.No patient injury is reported.
