French term or phrase: Lâcher de ballons pulmonaire

In a medical history report about a poor guy who's riddled with cancer.
This comes under a heading relating to the thoracoabdominal scan prior to a course of chemotherapy.
The full paragraph is:
"Lâcher de ballons pulmonaire". Progression de la lésion jugulo-carotidienne gauche ganglionnaire mesurant 28x22 mm et repoussant en avant la veine jugulaire interne.

Any help/ideas greatly appreciated.

Lâcher de ballons pulmonaire Release the Pulmonary Balloons

Explanation:
This is probably a way to say "deflating an angioplasty balloon" using a pun.

An angioplasty was probably present but needed to be undone because it was causing problems.

Release the (pulmonary) balloons!

(Sounds a bit too morbid though. Is this medical humour?? Maybe the operation was a success)

• opacités nodulaires: il s’agit d’opacités arrondies mais de plus grand diamètre voire supérieur au centimètre. Quand elles sont nombreuses réalisent ce qu\'on appelle un \"lâcher de ballons\", dans ce cas évocatrices plutôt de métastases.

Radiographie pulmonaire

C\'est l\'examen radiologique le plus fréquent, pratiqué naguère pour le dépistage de la tuberculose, aujourd\'hui lors d\'un bilan préopératoire, avant une anesthésie, ou pour la recherche d\'une maladie pulmonaire. c\'est un des gestes complémentaires les plus courants chez un cancéreux en raison de la fréquence des métastases pulmonaires, des tumeurs primitives dans le thorax et de diverses atteintes cancéreuses, infectieuses ou autre. Les clichés, réalisés de face et de profil, montrent surtout les poumons mais aussi le médiastin, le cœur, la plèvre et le squelette dont l\'analyse peut nécessiter des radiographies un peu différentes (voir figure). en cas de signes évoquant une lésion pulmonaire (crachement de sang ou hémoptysie), il peut mettre en évidence une tumeur comme une masse pulmonaire, l\'obstruction d\'une bronche (atélectasie), une pleurésie ou un élargissement du médiastin. Un cliché pulmonaire anormal doit être complété par des coupes de scanographie. En cas de cancer primitif extrathoracique, le cliché pulmonaire recherche des images correspondant à des métastases : ***nodules pulmonaires, souvent arrondis et multiples réalisant des images en \'lâcher de ballons\'***, pleurésie ou lésions des côtes. Dans la surveillance des cancers pulmonaires traités, le cliché pulmonaire est insuffisant et on doit lui préférer des coupes scanographiques.
