Percutaneous Balloon Pulmonary Valvuloplasty (PBPV) in Calcified Pulmonary Valve - A Technical Challenge
Sinha SK*, Sharma AK, Razi M and Pandey U
Transcatheter therapy of valvular pulmonary stenosis is now treatment of choice for significant pulmonary stenosis. Here, we report a case of partial rupture of Accura balloon (Vascular Concept, UK) while Percutaneous Balloon Pulmonary Valvuloplasty (PBPV) was being performed in a tightly stenosed and calcified valve. A 43-year-old female presented with exertional dyspnoea,...

Crusade Dual Lumen Catheter Assisted Successful Revascularization of Chronic Total Occlusion - Technical Consideration

However, blunt tip with large side branch coming just before the cut-off makes wire entry into proximal cap extremely tough as it is prone to prolapse into side branch. Here, we report a case of a 61-year-old, hypertensive and smoker male who presented intractable angina caused by CTO of mid LAD....
