It was reported that the procedure was to treat a left superficial femoral artery.
A 5.
5x200mm armada 18 otw (over the wire) balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) was advanced to the lesion without issue and inflated once at nominal pressure.
During removal, the bdc failed to deflate, several attempts were performed but unsuccessful.
After 10 minutes of efforts, the balloon was able to successfully deflate.

An atherectomy catheter was used to suck the clot out.
Residual clot persisted and tissue plasminogen activator medication was provided to resolve the issue.
Hospitalization was prolonged due to this issue.
The patient is fine.
There was no adverse patient sequela reported.
No additional information was provided.
