It was initially reported on (b)(6) 2018, a (b)(6)-year old female patient underwent stent graft placement to treat thoracic aortic aneurysm (taa) / abdominal aortic aneurysm (aaa).After another manufacturer's stent graft was placed below renal artery, touch-up ballooning was performed with coda balloon.The proximal platinum marker of the coda balloon was located at the proximal end of the stent graft during inflation.No part of the balloon was outside of the graft during inflation.At this point, the infrarenal abdominal aorta ruptured blood infusion was performed, but the patient's hemodynamic stability was not recovered.They attempted to place another stent graft was attempted to treat the abdominal aorta damage, but this attempt failed.Therefore, the procedure was converted to open surgical repair.The patient was not recovered, and deceased.As reported, the patient has severe calcification from the abdominal aorta through the iliac artery.The balloon was inflated using a 20cc syringe.However, the volume/pressure used during inflation is not known.It is not known if the patient was on anticoagulants.An autopsy will not be performed.The device will not be returned to aid in the investigation as the event was not related device defect.
