Abstract
A simple practical balloon anchoring technique within the guide catheter for chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the coronary artery.
Highlights
Dear Editor: Chronic total occlusions (CTOs) of the coronary artery are commonly encountered complex lesions[1]
To overcome the previous problem, we designed a new technique for withdrawing the microcatheter: the balloon anchoring technique within the guide catheter
After the wire is proved to locate in the ture lumen of blood vessel by the contrast agent injected from the microcatheter, the wire is advanced into the occluded segment
Summary
Dear Editor: Chronic total occlusions (CTOs) of the coronary artery are commonly encountered complex lesions[1]. To overcome the previous problem, we designed a new technique for withdrawing the microcatheter: the balloon anchoring technique within the guide catheter. Remove the wire when it has arrived at distal vascular lesions through the occluded segment the wire.
