“…Chow et al reported two cases of proximal balloon tear during PTMC by Inoue balloon and they attributed to the suboptimal quality of rubber layer might be responsible. [6] Schilling et al reported two cases of balloon tear occurring in the proximal portion of the Inoue balloon. [7] They reported that the rupture was associated with calcify valves.…”

Percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PTMC) is one of the treatment modality in the management of rheumatic mitral stenosis. Reuse of sterilized PTMC balloon catheters has been widely practiced in developing countries to bring down procedural cost. PTMC by reused balloons are prone to deform and rupture during procedure. This can cause fatal complications like embolism of air or balloon material. Herein, we report a case of Accura balloon rupture during PTMC without any fatal complication. Thus, during balloon preparation particularly of reused balloon, it should be examined for any deformity or tear and air should be removed completely to prevent the fatal outcome.

“…Chow et al also reported two cases in which the proximal portion of the balloon tore but did not say whether the valves were calcified. 7 Though the three layer wall of the Inoue balloon may be apt to tear, it prevents release of the balloon contents into the circulation, whereas cylindrical polyethylene balloons do not.8…”
