It was reported that an unspecified 2.
75x12mm trek balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) was prepped outside the anatomy prior to use, and the contrast mix was omnipaque 300x500.
The bdc was inflated to 18 atmospheres; however, it failed to deflate after almost 10 minutes of trying.
The balloon was intentionally ruptured using manual inflation with a syringe in order to remove it.
There were no adverse patient sequela and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.
No additional information was provided.
