Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the patient underwent balloon kyphoplasty surgery due to primary osteoporosis.Intra-op, the balloon did not deflate even though the handle was pulled while the trigger of the inflatable bone tamp (ibt ) was being gripped.Since the balloon would deflate when having the handle rotated, the operation was completed without problems as the balloon deflated when the handle was rotated.There was a delay of less than 60 min in overall procedure time as a result of this event.There were no patient symptoms or complications as a result of this event.
