The possibility of rupture of an intra-aortic balloon has been theorized since its introduction and confirmed by recent reports. Few incidents of fracture of an intra-aortic balloon catheter have been reported and in most of these cases the entrapped balloons were removed surgically. We report the successful nonsurgical removal of a ruptured, fractured intra-aortic balloon catheter. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
