Abstract

We report a case of coronary angioplasty balloon rupture and catheter fracture within a calcified lesion, requiring emergency coronary bypass surgery. The entrapped catheter could not be removed at surgery. This case re-emphasizes the hazards associated with angioplasty of calcified lesions.
