    IN-STENT RESTENOSIS (OCCLUSION) LESION. USING A GUIDING SHEATH AND A 0.014 INCH GUIDE WIRE, AFTER THE CATHETER PASSED THROUGH THE LESION THE BALLOON WAS DILATED, BUT IT WAS RUPTURED AT 14 ATM. THE CHILD CATHETER (THE CATHETER THINNER THAN THE GUIDING SHEATH) COULD BE PLACED IN THE GUIDING SHEATH. BECAUSE THE BALLOON OF THE CATHETER WAS A LITTLE INFLATED, IT ATTEMPTED TO RETRACT INTO THE CHILD CATHETER TO DEFLATE THE BALLOON, BUT IT COULD NOT BE DONE. ULTIMATELY, THE DISTAL END OF THE BALLOON BROKE, AND THE BROKEN FRAGMENT REMAINED IN THE PATIENT'S VESSEL. THE FRAGMENT WAS FIXED TO THE VESSEL WALL WITH THE STENT.
