An 8f 45cm arrow sheath was used to introduce the balloon.A cook roadrunner 035 system 180cm wire was used to guide the balloon to the lesion.A passeo-35 4/60/90 balloon was used to pre-dilate the lesion in the subclavian vein.After pre-dilation, the passeo-35hp 12/40/75 balloon was introduced to further dilate the vessel.Balloon was inflated through the 8f 45cm arrow sheath and deflated after 2 minutes at 18atm pressure.When balloon was about to be removed from the sheath, physician experienced difficulty in pulling the balloon out, despite using force.After numerous attempts, physician removed the sheath along with the balloon and revealed the balloon was stuck at the distal opening of the sheath as balloon did not deflate and rewrap properly.
