Modified Sleeve Technique for Calcified Coronary Bifurcations.
Historically, in calcified coronary lesions, rotational atherectomy can result in side-branch occlusion in up to 10% of the cases. This can potentially result in significant ischemia depending on the territory involved. Our modification of the GuideLiner technique avoids the added risk of guide-catheter dissection from two guides in the left main and can also be used in non-left main bifurcations.
