Figure 25.1 Baseline angiogram showing severe SVG stenoses A 7F sheath, 7F LCB guide was chosen. The lesion was crossed with a standard 0.014″ guidewire. A 4.0 mm Spider FX…

Figure 23.1 Baseline RCA angiogram Because of the inadequate lesion preparation, a decision was made to proceed with rotablation. The Fielder wire was exchanged for a rota floppy wire and…

Figure 5.1 (a, b) shows the baseline RCA with severe calcific ostial stenosis PCI to the ostial RCA was performed. Multiple 6F guides were used including JR4 with side hole,…

Figures 20.1, 20.2, 20.3, and 20.4 Baseline angiograms Left femoral vascular access was obtained using ultrasound imaging guidance. A 6F JL4.0 guide catheter was used. Intervention was performed on the…
