Case Report
rupture outside of the patient with the same type of balloon. However, it should be noted that in vivo rup- ture mechanics of the balloon can differ when they are subjected to the stresses of use during catheter- ization. Perhaps more important than the specifics of this technique, is the notion that when faced with difficult clinical situations, the interventional cardiol- ogist needs to think outside the box.
