As reported, a plain old balloon angioplasty (poba) was performed with a saber rx pta balloon catheter (4mm30cm155) ), the saber rx pta balloon was inflated within its nominal pressure.
However, the balloon got lengthened from about 1.
5 to 2-centimeters (cm) from the proximal maker and it was inflated.
There was no reported patient injury.
Yet, the doctor wondered how long the acceptable length is.
The lesion was the superficial femoral artery.
Initially, this was a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) case.
A contralateral approach was made with a non-cordis guiding catheter and a non-cordis guide wire crossed the lesion.
The contrast to saline ration was 1:1: the device will be returned for analysis.
