Abstract:
The fracture of an intra-aortic balloon must be carefully monitored and immediately managed. This report describes our experience with a fractured balloon occurring in a patient one day after aortocoronary bypass surgery. The rupture, noted by the presence of blood in the balloon tubing, required immediate isolation and removal. The patient tolerated the event well and recovered without complications.
