We describe a case of simultaneous triple balloon angioplasty of a trifurcation stenosis in a dual left anterior descending coronary artery variant using over-the-wire and monorail balloon catheters and a single guide catheter.
While attempting to dilate a distal lesion in a right coronary artery, using a balloonon-a-wire catheter, circumferential balloon rupture occurred with temporary entrapment of the balloon in the stenosis. The balloon was retrieved, and the dilatation completed, using an over-the-wire balloon cathete
The coronary flow velocity changes in the great cardiac and middle cardiac veins, induced by intracoronary administration of nitroglycerine, adenosine, and during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, were evaluated in 12 patients with significant coronary stenoses, using the Doppler wire
