Use of intravascular ultrasound in evaluating repeated balloon rupture during coronary stenting

Abstract:
Balloon rupture during coronary angioplasty is a well-recognized complication of PTCA. Coronary angiography commonly fails to elicit the cause of balloon perforation. We present a case with multiple balloon rupture during additional high-pressure inflations of a Palmaz-Schatz stent where intravascular ultrasound was useful in revealing a calcified lesion protruding through the struts of the stent.
