Vertebral Artery Origin Stent Placement Using the Dual Lumen Qureshi-Jiao Guidecatheter
Creators
Description
Objective
We report the first experience with a new dual lumen guide catheter with lumen A with curved tip designed for delivery of stent and angioplasty catheters and lumen B with side exit for coaxial placement of stiff 0.014 inch wire.
Methods
We prospectively determined technical success, intended procedure (stent delivery at target lesion and a final residual stenosis <30%) completed without a need for a different catheter, and technical ease, intended procedure completed without ≥3 unsuccessful attempts in patients with symptomatic vertebral artery origin stenosis. Vertebral artery origin was classified as type A if originated from ascending segment and type B if originated from an arch or horizontal segment of subclavian artery.
