This report presents a case in which an angioplasty balloon catheter became entrapped within the lumen of a coronary artery after rupture during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Prior to this report, balloon rupture had been considered a relatively benign occurrence. However, this case demonstrates that balloon rupture may lead to serious complications.
本报告介绍了一例在经皮腔内冠状动脉成形术（PTCA）过程中，血管成形术球囊导管破裂后被困在冠状动脉腔内的病例。在本报告之前，球囊破裂一直被认为是相对良性的事件。然而，该病例表明球囊破裂可能导致严重并发症。
