Abstract/OtherAbstract:
To get superior guiding catheter support, we tried a new method called the anchor technique. By inflating a balloon in a nontarget vessel and holding its shaft with backward force while advancing another balloon, the anchor effect for the guiding catheter could be obtained and it appeared to be helpful for a balloon or a stent to cross the target lesion.
