We report an unusual complication of a 25 mm long stent, which did not expand at all for 1 mm in its proximal segment, while rest of the 24 mm length of the stent got fully expanded. Repeated attempts to expand the extremely focal unexpanded part of the stent at high pressure led to rupture of the stent balloon and its entrapment. We failed to retrieve the balloon using various techniques and the patient had to be sent for coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Inborn errors of immunity (IEIs), also known as primary immunodeficiencies, are a group of genetic disorders affecting the development and function of the immune system. While IEIs traditionally present with recurrent infections, an increasing number of cases manifest with early-onset severe atopy, including atopic dermatitis, food allergies, asthma, and allergic rhinitis-features that are often overlooked. This can lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment, which is crucial for IEI patients due to the risk of severe infections.
