Abstract

We describe a case of an acute hypersensitivity reaction to a paclitaxel-coated balloon used in the peripheral arterial circulation. Clinicians using these products should be aware of this potential risk.

Keywords: Balloon angioplasty; allergic reaction; drug-coated balloon; drug-eluting balloon; peripheral vascular disease.
