‘Balloon screen’ technique: a case report of a novel bailout strategy for accurate stent deployment in severely calcified coronary lesions complicated by dissection

The balloon screen technique provides a practical bailout when stent delivery repeatedly tracks a false lumen after dissection in heavily calcified lesions. Creating a temporary physical barrier within the false channel, it promotes accurate true-lumen stenting, but careful balloon handling is required.

Abstract

The balloon screen technique provides a practical bailout when stent delivery repeatedly tracks a false lumen after dissection in heavily calcified lesions. Creating a temporary physical barrier within the false channel, it promotes accurate true-lumen stenting, but careful balloon handling is required.
