Transcutaneous puncture and successfully retrieval of undeflated peripheral angioplasty balloon

Abstract

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty has gained increasing popularity in the treatment of peripheral artery disease. However, the increase in the frequency of this procedure also increases the risk of complications. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty has serious and general complications in terms of device and technique at puncture and dilatation sites. In this case, we describe the easy and practical management of deflating an undeflated ballon in the right superficial femoral artery.
