Event or Problem Description
Pre-operative diagnosis for this procedure: primary osteoporosis it was reported that the patient underwent balloon kyphoplasty at t11 due to compression fracture.Intra-op, when the balloon was inflated from the right side (the pressure was 25 psi) and the handle was rotated twice, it was found that the contrast media flowed backwards from the connection part of the balloon.Then, the balloon was deflated and images were checked, which showed that the contrast media had slightly leaked to the patient's body.The surgeon was recommended to perform washing; however, washing was not performed as there was only a small amount of leakage.As a result of this event, the product was substituted with a new one, and a pressure of 150 psi was achieved.Although the procedure was delayed by less than 60 minutes due to this event, the procedure was completed successfully without any problems.
