The authors report a case of coronary angioplasty of the left anterior descending artery complicated by multiple balloon rupture. Various balloon types including polyethylene terephthalate and PE 600® (ACS) ruptured at low atmospheric pressure. During balloon rupture, a septal side branch was dissected with severe intimal staining. The authors postulate that a particular lesion morphology was responsible for balloon rupture. Approaches to such lesions using alternative coronary angioplasty techniques and newer technologies are discussed.
