    PER THE REPORTER, WE WERE DOING A FEMORAL THROMBECTOMY USING A # 4 LONG FOGARTY CATHETER AND PART OF THE BALLOON BUSTED AND POTENTIALLY REMAINED IN THE PATIENT. WE HAVE SAVED THE BALLOON AND THE WRAPPER FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION. PREVIOUS DAY SURGEON'S PROGRESS NOTE: LEGS ARE COOL, BUT PERFUSED. RIGHT GROIN INCISION IS CLEAN, DRY, AND INTACT. WILL MOVE LOWER EXTREMITY BUT MINIMAL STRENGTH. STABLE PERFUSION TO BOTH FEET. HIGH RISK FOR HIGHER AMPUTATION BILATERALLY.
