It was reported a patient underwent an endovascular aneurysm repair (evar) for an abdominal aortic aneurysm (aaa) with other manufacturers' main body and leg graft stents.After placing these stent grafts, the coda lp balloon catheter was used for balloon touch-up.When the user inflated the balloon in order to perform touch-up in the connection between the mainbody and iliac leg, the balloon ruptured.Therefore, the device was removed from the patient and replaced with another coda lp balloon catheter of a different lot number.The procedure was completed after successful balloon touch-up with the replacement device.The patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.The physician commented, ¿i did not check the volume specifically when inflating the balloon though, i inflated it as usual.I think that the balloon might have been caught on the proximal edge of the other manufacturer's leg graft.¿ the device will not be returned due to infectious disease (hcv).No image or no photo of the device is available.
