Event or Problem Description

It was reported that a snare was required to remove a detached balloon.A coyote balloon was selected for use.Under local anesthesia, a retrograde puncture was performed of the right common femoral artery (cfa).A 4 fr sheath was inserted and a pigtail catheter was placed in the infrarenal aorta.Injection of a mechanical contrast medium followed by digital subtraction angiography (dsa) was performed to visualize the iliac vessels on the left.Additional contrast medium injected and staged dsa of the left arterial leg circulation revealed high-grade stenosis of the anterior tibial artery, as well as two further downstream smaller stenoses.A non-bsc guidewire was inserted over the stenosis.Subsequently, a coyote es balloon was inserted however, it could not be advanced over the iliac bifurcation.The coyote es balloon was withdrawn but the distal part of the catheter was sheared.The proximal part of the catheter was removed but the distal part remained in the vessel hanging over the iliac bifurcation.An 8 fr sheath was inserted and multiple attempts to retrieve the device were unsuccessful.During an interim control angiography, a dissection of the right external iliac artery was noticed.It was decided to stent the dissection using the cross-over technique.A further attempt was then made to retrieve the catheter which was ultimately successful.A retrograde puncture of the left cfa was performed and a 5 fr sheath was inserted.Subsequently, cross-over probing of the right iliac artery using a 5 fr non-bsc catheter was performed and a non-bsc guidewire was advanced to the true lumen of the right superficial femoral artery (sfa).Subsequent control angiography revealed a short-segment dissection and thrombosis of the external iliac artery.After interdisciplinary discussion of these findings, it was decided to surgically remove the thrombus and repair the dissection at another point in the future.Finally, the cross-over sluice in the left groin was sutured and a sheath irrigation was created.A pressure bandage was applied to over the puncture site in the right groin.Three milligrams of midazolam was administered periprocedurally and the patient vital signs were monitored.There were no further patient complications reported.
