Autoperfusion balloon catheter for complicated coronary angioplasty: a prospective study with retrospective controls
1992
Abstract Prolonged angioplasty balloon inflation with an autoperfusion balloon for failed conventional coronary angioplasty, was compared with emergency surgery for this condition. Restenosis was assessed 6 weeks after successful intervention with the autoperfusion balloon. Forty consecutive patients with persistent acute occlusion and/or severe intimal dissection during conventional angioplasty, were treated with the autoperfusion balloon. They were candidates for emergency surgery if it failed. Total inflation time was significantly longer ( p p
