โœฆ Synopsis

Letters to the Editor 75 catheters allows this technique, even with 7 French guiding catheters. The tandem balloon approach has several advantages: fewer balloon inflations and balloon-related periods of myocardial ischemia, shorter procedure duration, immediate results at both sites, and maintained vascular access in the distal vessel allowing immediate redilatation in case of abrupt closure.

In conclusion, coronary angioplasty of two lesions in the same vessel may be performed using tandem balloon angioplasty when a single long balloon is unavailable. More studies are needed to determine the safety and field of application of this approach.

Use of 6 French guiding catheters for elective percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty has been limited by lack of a compatible autoperfusion balloon catheter for management of complications such as acute vessel closure and large subinti-ma1 dissections. We describe the successful use of a lo
