Abstract:
We discuss a case in which a novel ultra-low-profile angioplasty balloon was used to provide wire backup by advancing the uninflated balloon nose into the entry point of a virtually occluded lesion. This enabled crossing of the lesion, and demonstrates how an improved balloon design can directly lead to improved clinical outcomes.
