It was reported that blades of the cutting balloon cut the patient during removal.
The 99% stenosed target lesion was located in the moderately tortuous and moderately calcified left external iliac artery.
A 6.
00mm/2.
0cm/90cm peripheral cutting balloon was selected for use.
During the procedure, pre dilation was performed using a 3mm-20mm and 5mm-40mm after the guidewire was crossed and then this device was used.
The balloon position was slightly shifted at 6atm for about 30 seconds on the first time, and the vessel was dilated three times at about 6atm to 8atm for about 30 seconds.
Inflation and deflation were performed slowly, however the blade protruded from the sheath upon removal and bleeding was noted.
As per physician, the blade cut the skin at the puncture sit which made the site expanded.
The procedure was completed with a different device.
There were no patient complications reported.
