It was reported that balloon rupture occurred.The chronic totally occluded target lesion was located in the moderately tortuous and severely calcified superficial femoral artery (sfa).After a non-bsc guide wire crossed the lesion, a 4mm balloon catheter was advanced for dilatation.Since dilatation with 4mm balloon catheter was not sufficient, a 5.0 x 200, 135cm mustang balloon catheter was used to dilate the distal sfa.After that, the same balloon was also used to dilate the proximal sfa; however, on the second inflation, the balloon ruptured.The procedure was completed with no patient complications.
