Bailout technique to rescue the abruptly occluded side branch with collapsed true lumen after main vessel stenting

چکیده
Guidewire recrossing into the abruptly occluded side branch (SB) after main vessel (MV) stenting in the coronary bifurcation is difficult, particularly if the SB has a dissection because the true lumen of SB is collapsed by a hematoma and the second guidewire easily goes into the false lumen. This paper reports a bailout technique to rescue the occluded SB that was complicated by a hematoma because of an unsuccessful guidewire recrossing after MV stenting using a small balloon dilation in the collapsed SB true lumen behind the stent strut and wire penetration.

Flow Patterns at Stented Coronary Bifurcations
Coronary bifurcations remain one of the most challenging lesion subsets, even in the era of drug-eluting stents. Single stent implantation in the main vessel with provisional stenting to the side branch vessel has been found superior to double stenting and is considered the default approach in most coronary bifurcation lesions. However, in true bifurcation lesions, this provisional approach may...
متن کاملInverted crush technique for uncrossable side branch occlusion during provisional side branch stenting: a new role for the jailed wire.
Provisional side-branch stenting is currently the most widely accepted percutaneous technique for the treatment of bifurcation lesions. However, abrupt closure of the side branch may occur after main vessel stent implantation. Resolving side-branch stenosis under these conditions may pose major technical difficulties. We describe a new technique to resolve uncrossable side-branch occlusion foll...
متن کاملUnexpected opening of a totally occluded septal branch originating from an atheromatous lesion successfully treated with angioplasty and stenting.
In about 50% of patients who undergo a percutaneous coronary intervention for an atheromatous lesion there is a side branch that is involved in or borders on the lesion. In such cases, the invasive cardiologist must make every attempt to rescue this branch. We present an unusual case of unexpected opening of a side branch of a coronary artery after balloon angioplasty and stenting of the main v...
متن کاملRelative dependence of diameters of branches in coronary bifurcations after stent implantation in main vessel--importance of carina position.
BACKGROUND AND AIM Bifurcation lesions are relatively frequently encountered in everyday interventional practice. Stenting of the vessel chosen to be main (usually the larger one) frequently leads to stenosis at the ostium of the side branch (SB) and compromises its flow (side branch compromise--SBC). The relative dependence of main and side branch diameters, based on the concept of carina disp...
متن کاملLongitudinal Stent Deformation Caused by Retraction of the Looped Main Branch Guidewire.
A 66-year-old male was treated percutaneously for a bifurcation lesion of the left anterior descending coronary artery by provisional stenting using the jailed wire technique. After successfully stenting the main branch, retraction of the looped main branch guidewire was impossible. After using an intravascular ultrasound we discovered the guidewire was entangled with a stent strut. Thereafter,...
