Galassi AR, Tomasello SD, Costanzo L, Campisano MB, Barrano G, Tamburino C. Long-term clinical and angiographic outcomes of the mini-STAR technique as a bailout strategy for percutaneous coronary intervention of chronic total occlusion. The overall technical success rate of the GuideLiner was 88. The majority of lesions were types B2 or C (98), calcified (86.3), with proximal tortuosity (88.6). The mean age was 68.4 ± 11.2 years and 82 were male. Galassi AR, Boukhris M, Tomasello SD, Marzà F, Azzarelli S, Giubilato S, Khamis H. The GuideLiner was utilized in 307 (317 lesions) of 6105 PCI procedures performed at our institution during the study period. Impact of intra-aortic balloon pumping on hypotension and outcomes in acute right ventricular infarction. Transient impairment of vasomotion function after successful chronic total occlusion recanalization. Galassi AR, Tomasello SD, Crea F, Costanzo L, Campisano MB, Marzá F, Tamburino C. The innovation of composite core dual coil coronary guide-wire technology: a didactic coronary chronic total occlusion revascularization case report. Tomasello SD, Giudice P, Attisano T, Boukhris M, Galassi AR. In both cases, the GuideLiner catheter provided a good back-up insuring the success of PCI and drug-eluting stents implantation, with a good in-hospital outcome.Ĭardiac catheters Equipment and supplies Percutaneous coronary intervention. The second case was an elective PCI in a 76-year-old man admitted for stable angina (Canadian Cardiovascular Society class III), related to focal intra-stent restenosis of a saphenous venous graft to the left anterior descending. The first case was a primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in a 71-year-old diabetic man admitted for inferior ST-elevation myocardial infarction, related to tight proximal stenosis in a dominant tortuous and calcified left circumflex. We report two didactic cases showing the usefulness of the GuideLiner device in everyday catheterization laboratory practice. The GuideLiner V3 catheter adds a 17 cm half-pipe before the collar, which is designed to facilitate smooth device entry and delivery 1. 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. 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.
