Clinical and angiographic implications of balloon rupture during coronary stenting.
Balloon rupture was detected in 66 consecutive patients (5.8%) during coronary stenting. This rare phenomenon usually does not have clinical or angiographic sequelae, but in some cases, it may induce new coronary dissections that can be managed with additional stenting, but also may cause clinical complications.
