We report a case of malfunction of a sheetless intra-aortic balloon pump due to rupture of the internal metal wire rather than the plastic balloon itself. In fact, the balloon envelope remained intact up to the extraction, keeping the two parts of the broken catheter together, avoiding more serious complications
