Inflation Pressure in Side Branch during Modified Jailed Balloon Technique Does Not Affect Side Branch Outcomes

Figure 2

A case of severe dissection in the SB ostium after the modified jailed balloon technique. (a) A control angiographic image of the targeted bifurcated lesion in the mid-LAD artery. (b) DES deployment simultaneously with 2.0 mm jailed balloon inflation in SB. (c) Recrossed guidewire advancement in the dissected lumen of SB. (d) Extrastent balloon dilatation with a 1.5 mm balloon to compress the dissected lumen. (e) Successful guidewire passage in SB with limited blood flow. (f) Vessel fenestration at the lesion of hematoma with a cutting balloon. (g) POT with a 3.0 mm noncompliant balloon catheter. (h) Final angiography with favorable blood flow both in MV and SB.
