New technique for stent jail: another niche for the rotablator.
We report the treatment of a jailed side branch using the Rotablator. Initial attempts at passing various low profile balloons in the jailed branch were unsuccessful. The Rotablator allowed access to the side branch, which was stented with a single Palmaz-Schatz stent, providing excellent angiographic and 9 months follow-up results.
