Summary

A novel microcatheter-guide extension system safely delivered a scoring balloon to a challenging left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft lesion. This technique protects the LIMA graft during complex percutaneous coronary intervention.

Area of Science:

Cardiovascular Medicine
Interventional Cardiology
Vascular Surgery

Background:

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft is complex.
Specialty balloon delivery poses a risk of LIMA graft injury.

Keywords:

atherosclerosis cardiovascular disease coronary artery bypass lifestyle myocardial revascularization percutaneous coronary intervention
