Patient had a left external iliac artery stent place.After post dilatation of the stent a perforation of the left external iliac artery was noted.A balloon then was inserted and inflated in the vessel for approximately 2 mins.The balloon was deflated and during the removal of the balloon the shaft broke onto the wire.It required a additional 10-15mins to remove the broken shaft.In the meantime the patient was started on dopamine and norepinephrine vasopressors as well as 2 units prbcs.A cover stent was eventually inserted to seal off the perforation.
