Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The buddy wire technique, i.e. the use of a second 0.014" guidewire placed alongside the one employed to advance balloons, stents or other devices, improves the balloon or stent support and also provides guiding catheter stability. Furthermore, it concentrates forces transferred from the balloon along the line of the wire. We used a second 0.014" Platinum PLUS guidewire as a buddy wire during static balloon atrial septostomy in a 19-day-old baby with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, in whom standard balloon atrial septostomy was inadequate even with a fully dilated balloon. This procedure effectively dilated the atrial septal defect. |
