Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is one of the most frequent non-surgical procedures performed worldwide. As any invasive procedure, PCI is accompanied by a low but still important risk of complications. One such very rare complication is when the angioplasty balloon cannot be deflated. We present a case of undeflatable balloon during chronic total occlusion PCI and we report a novel technique for balloon retrieval: using the Excimer light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (Laser) coronary atherectomy device.
经皮冠状动脉介入治疗（PCI）是全球范围内最常见的非手术治疗手段之一。与任何侵入性手术一样，PCI伴随着低但仍很重要的并发症风险。一种非常罕见的并发症是血管成形术球囊无法放气。我们报告了一例慢性完全闭塞性PCI中球囊无法放气的病例，并介绍了一种新颖的球囊取出技术：使用准分子激光冠状动脉斑块旋切术设备。
