An intravascular fracture of balloon catheters during peripheral catheterization is uncommon. This is a rare, but a serious complication of interventional procedures, which may lead to bleeding or lower limb ischemia and require an emergency surgical intervention. Herein, we present a 71-year-old male case in whom a balloon catheter was broken inside of the deep femoral artery and retrieved surgically. A broken and entrapped catheter is one of the extraordinary complications in this type of applications. Fortunately, it is seen rarely and treated either interventional or surgical techniques.
