Rescue removal of disrupted balloon catheter from right coronary artery and aortic arch.

We present the case of a 70-year-old female patient diagnosed with unstable angina, who was qualified to coronarography in a peripheral interventional cardiology department. Critical stenosis of right posterior descending artery was found. During percutaneous coronary intervention, after-stent balloon catheter interrupted and was left partially in the right coronary artery sticking out of the aortic arch. In a second attempt at removal, using an Amplatz GooseNeck snare, operators managed to take the broken balloon out of the intravascular space.
