As reported, during angioplasty of the left anterior tibial artery (ata), an advance 14 lp low profile balloon catheter leaked.The left ata was reportedly stenosed and occluded in the proximal, middle, and distal segments of the artery.An unspecified 4 french cook long sheath and unknown "v14" wire guide were also used during the procedure.The complaint device was advanced to the ata; however, the device would not inflate past four atmospheres.The device was removed from the patient, and inflation was attempted outside the body, at which point a leak of contrast was observed.The procedure was completed with another cook advance 14lp balloon.A section of the device did not remain inside the patient¿s body.The patient did not require any additional procedures due to this occurrence.According to the initial reporter, the patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.
