title: Intraaortic balloon entrapment--a case report and a review of the literature.
abstract: A case of intraaortic balloon entrapment is reported. To our knowledge, this is the tenth case in the literature. We conclude that balloon entrapment can occur without any signs of rupture of the balloon and that the balloon should be removed surgically.
