Bard peripheral vascular (bpv) has identified that the product code / lot number combinations affected may be at risk of having deflation related issues.In the event a pta balloon will not deflate, immediate intervention is required in order to deflate the balloon and allow for continued blood flow. in many cases, this can be accomplished percutaneously by inserting a device (i.E., guidewire or sheath) to the pta balloon and puncturing the balloon and/or a sheath, allowing its withdrawal. this can usually be completed through the same vascular access, however, may require additional access. in the event a pta balloon cannot be deflated while in the extremities (i.E., superficial femoral artery or av fistula), it may be possible to insert a sterile needle through the skin and reach the balloon and pierce it in order to deflate it. in the event a percutaneous approach cannot successfully deflate the pta balloon, an open surgical approach will be required.
