A score flex balloon was advanced over a guide wire and inflated slowly to 10 atmospheres (atm) for one minute, then slowly deflated.An angiogram was used to determine the balloon needed to be advanced three to five millimeters.The balloon was inflated slowly to 10 atmospheres for 30 seconds, and then slowly deflated.The physician attempted to remove the balloon, but the wire was coming back with the balloon.The balloon was unable to be removed without the wire, as it was wrapped around the balloon.Another angiogram was observed, and it was noticed there was a dissection on the diagonal.A non-csi wire was attempted to be used, but continued getting caught in the dissection.After multiple attempts, the physician was able to re-cross the diagonal with the balloon and a stent was placed in the lesion and dissection.
