Abstract
Peripheral arterial lesions are usually longer than coronary artery lesions and require longer balloons and stents. Theoretically while advancing a long balloon in a long, high grade lesion with aggressive manipulation, the balloon can twist inside the lesion, but this has not been described before in the literature. Herein we are reporting a case where peripheral balloon (PB) twisted and appeared as a non-dilating lesion.
