CASE REPORTS: Collateral Circulation via a Rare, Anomalously Arising Right Ventricular Branch ® Occluder

ABSTRACT: Variations in coronary anatomy are not uncommon. They are usually benign, but can be a cause of confusion to the angiographer and in most situations, have no clinical significance. In this report, we present an unusual case of a chronically occluded proximal right coronary artery with an anomalous separate right ventricular branch arising directly from the aortic root and serving as a large collateral to the area beyond the occlusion.


Percutaneous Balloon Valvuloplasty of Coexisting Mitral and Tricuspid Stenosis: Single-Wire, Double-Balloon Technique

ABSTRACT: Background. Percutaneous transmitral commissurotomy (PTMC) was first described by Inoue as an alternative to surgical closed mitral commissurotomy for severe rheumatic mitral stenosis. Two techniques — single- and double-balloon methods and percutaneous metallic devices — have been described for mitral dilatation. The Multi-Track system, a single-wire, double-balloon device was introduced by Bonhoeffer for mitral valve dilatation.

Successful Recanalization of In-Stent Coronary Chronic Total Occlusion by Subintimal Tracking

ABSTRACT: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of a chronic total occlusion (CTO) caused by in-stent restenosis (ISR) is sometimes very difficult due to the presence of hard occlusive components that prevent wire passage. We report a case of CTO caused by ISR (ISR-CTO) in which the occlusion was crossed with the wire subintimally along the outside of the stent and was successfully re-stented.
