GuideLiner Balloon Assisted Tracking (GBAT): A New Addition to the Interventional Toolbox
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of guide extension catheters, such as GuideLiner, allows for increased guide support and facilitates device delivery in tortuous vessels. In cases which the GuideLiner catheter cannot be advanced even with balloon anchoring technique, we inflate a noncompliant balloon protruding from the GuideLiner catheter at nominal pressure and both the GuideLiner and the balloon are advanced over the coronary guidewire through the tortuous segments. This technique can be applied to 5.5 Fr., 6 Fr., and 7 Fr. GuideLiner catheters. This technique is termed GuideLiner Balloon Assisted Tracking (GBAT).

Optimal Stent Expansion by Stent Balloon Multiple Inflation at Nominal Pressure in Resistant Lesions: A New Technique
Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of four-time inflation of the stent balloon at nominal pressure on optimal stent expansion in resistant lesions. Materials and Methods: This interventional study was conducted on 39 patients with coronary artery lesions, in whom Zotarolimus-eluting stents (N=20), Paclitaxel-eluting stents (N=11) and other stents (N=8) were deployed four tim...
متن کاملMother-Daughter-Granddaughter Double GuideLiner Technique for Delivering Stents Past Multiple Extreme Angulations.
Failure to deliver stents and balloons past tortuous, calcific lesions because of inadequate support has long plagued interventional cardiologists. The mother–daughter technique using a GuideLiner Catheter (Vascular Solutions, Inc, Minneapolis, MN) is now commonly used to address these situations. Despite the improved support provided by the GuideLiner catheter, occasions arise in which a singl...
متن کاملThe GuideLiner Catheter: A Useful Tool in the Armamentarium of the Interventional Cardiologist.
Regardless of the clinical setting, a good back-up represents one of the most important conditions to ensure guide wire and balloon advancement and stent delivery. As a "mother and child" system, the GuideLiner catheter (Vascular Solutions Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA) provides an extension to the guide catheter with better coaxial alignment and stability. We report two didactic cases showing the...
متن کاملThe GuideLiner ® : an interventionist ’ s experience of their first 50 cases : “ the mostly good , rarely bad , beware of the ugly ! ”
In the modern era of interventional cardiology, stent delivery failure in complex, tortuous and/or calcific coronary anatomy is encountered in approximately 5% of cases, leading to incomplete revascularization and procedural failure. The GuideLiner® catheter (Vascular Solutions, MN, USA) is a monorail guide catheter extension that facilitates safe and effective delivery of balloons and/or stent...
متن کاملA Novel Technique of Stenting of the Renal Artery In-Stent Restenosis with GuideLiner® through Radial Approach
In-stent restenosis of the renal arteries is relatively common and its management is not well studied. An 83-year-old female with bilateral renal artery stenosis and balloon angioplasty and stenting bilaterally one year ago was found to have recurrent severe elevations in the blood pressure despite medical management. Renal artery duplex showed 60-99% stenosis of the right renal artery and 20-5...
