Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a moderately calcified proximal superficial femoral artery that was 90% stenosed.During post-dilatation, a 4x100mm armada balloon dilatation catheter was inflated 4-5 times at unspecified atmospheres when it was noted that the balloon did not inflate the entire length of the previously implanted stent as expected, but continued to use it to complete stent apposition.The balloon is reported to be miss-sized in accordance with the labeled size.There were no issues with the actual balloon inflation.Once removed out of the anatomy, it was noted that the balloon was shorter than it should be.There were no adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
