The only one letter misspelling I can think of that would make sense in this context would be that "bakad" is a misspelling of "backad". The word "backad" sometimes means "withdrawn" or "pulled back".
See reference below.

English use in this context:
Once the stent has been correctly positioned the balloon is inflated to deliver the stent over the stenosis in the vessel. The balloon is then deflated and withdrawn.

Additional English use in this context, from MIT:
The First Balloon Catheter
Fogarty's scheme was straightforward. He started with a urethral catheter, which is flexible but strong enough to be pushed through a blood clot. Then he added a small balloon made from a finger of a latex glove, which could be inflated with saline once it was past the clot. The balloon expands to the size of the artery and is then pulled back out, bringing with it the clot. "You can feel the resistance, or the drag on the artery wall," Fogarty explains. "You adjust the volume of the balloon so you've got continual traction."
