A shockwave c2 aero coronary intravascular lithotripsy (ivl) catheter was used to treat a lesion in the coronary arteries.It was reported that the balloon ruptured after four (4) pulses which was observed under fluoroscopy and contrast staining.The balloon was deflated followed by angiography which confirmed a vessel perforation.It was noted that balloon tamponade was applied for several minutes but bleeding persisted, so a drug eluting stent (des) was implanted and a covered stent placed inside it to seal the perforation.The patient required admission to the intensive care unit (icu) however; no additional information was provided on post procedure care.
