CINE 775/47

Known case Unstable Angina, Female 74 years previous PCI, present with Unstable Angina

CAG: Found severe mid CLX stenosis with acute ankle takes off from LM. The lesion showed 90 % stenosis with side branch at the lesion (Fig. 1)

PCI procedures

GD 6 Fr JL 4 was seated (Fig. 2)
Tried BMW Universal 190 cm, but GW prolapsed to LAD
Changed GW to be Whisper 190 cm, and tried to access to the lesion, but could only negotiate to the lesion then prolapsed to SB, so it could not pass through the lesion as well. ( could not negotiate cross the acute bend at SB before the lesion)
Tried Aqua T3 to back up support the GW to cross the lesion, the BDC could not pass the lesion and GD was not seated well.
Changed GD to be EBU 4 6 FR, better seated.
Tried old whisper to CLX, but still prolapsed to SB
Tried Floppy II, failed as well
Changed to use Pilot 150, used double curve shaped technique to help negotiation across the acute bend. The GW could pass the lesion smoothly. (Fig. 3)
Dilated with Aqua T3 1.5 X 15. (Fig. 4)
Stented with Mini Vision 2.5 X 8 mm. (Fig. 5)
The procedure was done with satisfy result.

Comment

This challenge case with very acute bend of artery, need the GW with very good torque ability, good tip control and support and less likely to prolaps from the lesion did help the successful of procedures.
