| pubmed-article:8416332 | pubmed:abstractText | We describe a case in which coronary angioscopy was complicated by inability to deflate the device's occlusion balloon. Rapid over-inflation to rupture the balloon resulted in massive dissection of the artery, pseudoaneurysm formation, and ultimately coronary bypass. While the cause of failure of balloon deflation remains obscure, deliberate over-inflation to cause rupture may be hazardous. | lld:pubmed |
