Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Resistant coronary lesions remain a challenge for modern angioplasty. Classical approaches include high-pressure inflations, prolonged inflations, or balloon oversizing. More recently, new technologies like rotablator, atherectomy, or laser have been proposed as adjunct to balloon angioplasty for the treatment of these specific lesions. However, all these technologies remain more difficult to handle, costly, and they do not offer long-term benefit over conventional methods. Therefore, a simple device such as the cutting balloon catheter which has been developed from a standard over the wire balloon catheter, may prove to be useful in resistant coronary lesions. We present our single center experience using the new cutting balloon catheter in six resistant lesions. |
