During percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), good lesion preparation with adequate balloon predilatation is a fundamental step before stent deployment in order to achieve optimal stent expansion and favourable long-term outcomes post PCI. During PCI, inadvertent vessel tearing can occur, resulting in coronary dissections and formation of intramural haematomas. The latter might be associated with compression of the vessel lumen and significant compromise of the coronary blood flow leading to myocardial ischaemia and infarction. Herein, we present a case of intramural haematoma that occurred after PCI of the left anterior descending artery resulting in occlusion of the vessel and the subsequent use of a cutting balloon inflation technique to resolve the haematoma and restore the normal coronary blood flow.

Purpose: To describe a technique to enhance stent visibility on the fluoroscopic monitor during aortic endograft deployment. Technique: To assist in accurate positioning and deployment of the proximal stent in a Parodi-type aortic endograft, the stent is affixed to the balloon so that the radiopaque marker sits at the stent's distal end. When the device is in position and the sheath is retracted, the stent and the radiopaque balloon markers are clearly seen on the fluoroscopic image. Using normal saline only to inflate the balloon allows the stent to remain visible throughout deployment. Conclusions: The use of saline rather than contrast medium for balloon inflation provides continuous visualization of the stent during expansion, thus facilitating accurate deployment and early recognition of balloon migration within the stent.

Objectives. This study aimed to investigate the optimal jailed balloon inflation in the side branch during the modified jailed balloon technique for bifurcated lesions. Background. The modified jailed balloon technique is one of the effective techniques to minimize the emergence of side branch (SB) compromise by preventing plaque or carina shifting during a single stent strategy in the main vessel with provisional SB treatment. However, there are no detailed studies on the method of optimal jailed balloon inflation. Methods. We analyzed 51 consecutive patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for bifurcated lesions with a modified jailed balloon technique between September 2018 and December 2020. These 51 patients were divided into two groups according to the magnitude of inflation pressure of the jailed balloon: a higher pressure (HP) group and lower pressure (LP) group. Results. No significant differences in procedural outcomes were observed between the two groups. The findings of SB compromise were relatively common with our procedure (30.0% in the HP group; 33.3% in the LP group). The patterns of SB compromise such as dissection or stenosis increase were observed at similar frequencies between them. In particular, SB dissection was noted in the SB lesion with some plaque burden, irrespective of the magnitude of the jailed balloon inflation pressure. Univariate analysis showed that calcification in the main vessel and SB lesion length was significantly associated with SB compromise. Finally, all PCI procedures were successfully completed without any provisional stent deployment in SB. Conclusions. We speculate that lesion characteristics rather than the PCI procedural factors may be critical determinants to cause SB compromise.
