Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a new designed balloon catheter, the Minirail balloon catheter in coronary intervention Methods Twenty two consecutive patients with coronary artery disease (male 16, female 6, mean age 58 77?8 69 years) were enrolled the study Selective angioplasty was performed for 24 target lesions (17 in LAD, 2 in LCX, and 5 in RCA) Among these target lesions were 5 type C, 14 type B 2, and 5 type B 1 lesions The average extent of narrowing before procedure was 91 18%?5 95% Target lesions were dilated with Minirail balloon catheters Results All of the target lesions were successfully dilated with Minirail balloon catheters The average residual stenosis was 33 18%?25 14% after balloon angioplasty Significant dissection was seen in 3 of the cases, and slow reflow in another one Twenty four stents were implanted in 19 cases The final residual stenosis was 1 82%?5 01% at the end of procedure No death or Q wave myocardial infarction happened No emergency bypass surgery needed Conclusion Minirail balloon catheter is safe, effective, and easy to be used in coronary intervention
