An attempt was made to use two nc euphora balloon catheters to treat a moderately tortuous and calcified lesion exhibiting 70% stenosis located in the proximal-mid diagonal branch of the lad using the kissing balloon technique.Both devices were inspected with no issue.Negative prep was performed with no issue.The lesion was pre-dilated.Excessive force was not used during delivery of either device.An attempt was first made to use the 4.0mm balloon to treat the lesion.The device passed through a previously deployed stent.Resistance was not encountered when advancing the device.The 4.0mm balloon was passed through the guide and was in the lad stent.An attempt was then made to pass the 2.5mm balloon however resistance was encountered.The 4.0mm balloon was pulled back and everything was pulled out in the guide, however it was indicated that a detachment occurred at the balloon during removal.The detached portion of the device was removed in the guide.The patient is reported to be alive with no injury.
