Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Intracranial balloon microcatheters are vital in neurointerventions, yet balloon non-deflation has not been previously reported in the cerebral vasculature.
METHOD: We describe a 32-year-old woman undergoing embolization for a parieto-occipital arteriovenous malformation who developed failure of deflation of a dual-lumen balloon microcatheter placed in the posterior cerebral artery, despite standard manoeuvres.
RESULT: Controlled catheter transection distal to the hub, followed by gradual capillary action assisted drainage of diluted contrast, enabled safe balloon collapse and retrieval.
CONCLUSION: This case highlights a rare but critical complication and presents a practical bailout technique when conventional deflation methods fail, ensuring atraumatic intracranial balloon retrieval.
