AI Article Synopsis
- The intervention for an LAD/D1 bifurcation was complicated due to a wire getting stuck in the side branch and unraveling, needing a special tool (goose-neck snare) for removal.
- After additional balloon inflations, tiny leftover filaments were successfully taken out from the main artery, leading to a good final result seen in follow-ups after one year.
- There are multiple techniques that can help prevent and address this type of complication during procedures.
Article Abstract
An LAD/D1 bifurcation intervention was complicated by side-branch wire entrapment and unravelling requiring goose-neck snare removal. Residual microfilaments were retrieved from the main branch after further balloon inflations with a satisfactory final angiographic result and one-year follow-up. Various methods are available to avoid and deal with this complication.
