The placement of an electrode catheter into the coronary sinus (CS) is important for differentiating multiple atrial tachycardias (ATs). Based on its high selective performance in placement into small veins, inserting a novel over-the-wire 2.7Fr microcatheter (EPstar Fix AIV; Japan Lifeline) into the CS may be feasible even in patients implanted with a cardiac resynchronization therapy device.

In drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty for femoropopliteal lesions, there are adverse effects of drug embolization on downstream non-target organs following the slow-flow phenomenon. We devised a novel method, known as VaSodilator injection via the Over-the-wire lumen during DCB dilatation to Prevent the slow-flow phenomenon in treatment of femoropopliteal lesions (V.S.

Purpose: To describe a novel bailout technique to approach below-the-ankle (BTA) chronic total occlusions or plantar-arch severe disease where the balloon/catheter is unable to follow the crossing guidewire and no other described recanalization approach is feasible.
Technique: When facing a complex BTA revascularization, if the guidewire crosses but the balloon cannot progress due to a lack of pushability, an antegrade puncture of the infrapopliteal vessel where the tip of the guidewire lays is performed. The guidewire is then carefully navigated through this distal BTA vessel into the needle to achieve its rendezvous and externalization.

Background: Transseptal puncture (TSP) performed with the Brockenbrough (BRK) needle is technically demanding and carries potential risks. The back end of the percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) guidewire is blunt and flexible, with good support, it can puncture the right ventricle-free wall, which is thicker than the atrial-septum. The guidewire is thin and easy to manipulate.
