Event Description

It was reported that the procedure was performed to treat a lesion in the mid left anterior descending coronary artery with mild tortuosity and heavy calcification.A 2.25x15 mm xience alpine stent delivery system (sds) was advanced, but failed to cross the lesion due to the anatomy.The balloon was not inflated; however, blood was noted to be coming out of a little hole in the proximal shaft of the sds.Due to the heavy calcification, the procedure was completed with balloon angioplasty using an unspecified balloon dilatation catheter.There was no adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
