A dedicated balloon with a short beveled tip and the ability to rotate it from the proximal hub was successfully used to dilate the origin of a side branch which became totally occluded after deployment of a stent in the main vessel. Although regular low profile balloons are mostly successful in crossing struts of previously deployed stents, this new device has the potential to offer a more predictable and rapid solution in routine practice. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
