Abstract:
In a patient with a small-calibre radial artery and a 360° radio-ulnar loop, we combined the balloon-assisted tracking (BAT) technique (used to track a catheter trough the loop) with the use of a 6.5FPB sheathless guiding catheter, in order to allow the extensive catheter manipulations needed for PCI despite the ongoing artery spasm.
