Event Description

As reported, after an intravascular ultrasound (ivus), the user attempted to inflate the lesion using the 8mm 4cm 80 powerflex pro balloon catheter (bc), however, it ruptured at its nominal pressure during the initial inflation. Therefore, it was replaced with another device and the procedure was continued. There was no reported patient injury. The device was used during a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) case. The target lesion was the subclavian vein. A non-cordis guidewire crossed the stenosis part.
