As reported, a 2mm x 30cm 155cm saber rapid exchange (rx) percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) balloon catheter (bc) was delivered to the lesion and inflated, however, it ruptured within its nominal pressure.
Therefore, it was replaced with another non-cordis balloon catheter and the procedure was completed.
There was no reported patient injury.
This was an endovascular therapy (evt) case.
The target lesion was the superficial femoral artery (sfa) which had severe calcification.
The device will not be returned for analysis due to infectious disease.
