Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Using BaLloon-Assisted Sliding and Tracking (BLAST) of Diagnostic Catheter to Negotiate Double Hairpin Loop of Radial Artery
نویسندگان
چکیده
During transradial intervention, sharp edge of the guide catheter tip may act like a "razor-blade" and can prevent the catheter navigation especially in situation like double hair pin loop. Here, we report primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) through diagnostic catheter using an innovative technique, balloon-assisted sliding and tracking (BLAST), to overcome this double hairpin loop, thus saving time and contrast volume.

A-74-year-old woman with a history of diabetes mellitus and hypertension was admitted to our hospital due to non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography was performed uneventfully using JL 3.5 and AR1 5 Fr angiographic catheters (Boston Scientific, USA) through radial access. The coronary angiogram showed one vessel disease with an 80% stenosis at the proximal part of the left ...

Background and Objective: Acute myocardial infarction (MI) is caused due to coronary artery occlusion and divided into two forms of ST-elevation (STEMI) and non-ST-elevation (NSTEMI) myocardial infarction. This study aimed to determine the success rate of treatment with primary PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) versus thrombolysis in the establishment of perfusion and to evaluate the sho...
