UNASSIGNED: A 72-year-old man presented with severe stenosis and a highly calcified lesion in the right cervical internal carotid artery. Right carotid artery stenting (CAS) was planned to prevent future ischemic stroke events. Conventional semi-compliant balloon angioplasty was unsuccessful. Three inflations of a non-slip element (NSE) percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) scoring balloon (Nipro, Osaka, Japan) successfully achieved CAS without complications.
UNASSIGNED: This is the first report to describe the use of this scoring balloon in de novo carotid artery disease. NSE PTA scoring balloon catheters can be a useful option for refractory, highly calcified stenosis.
■一名72岁男子表现为右颈部颈内动脉严重狭窄和高度钙化病变。计划右颈动脉支架置入术(CAS)以预防未来的缺血性卒中事件。常规的半顺应性球囊血管成形术不成功。防滑元件(NSE)经皮腔内血管成形术(PTA)评分球囊(Nipro,大阪,日本)成功实现了CAS而没有并发症。
■这是第一个描述这种计分球囊在新生颈动脉疾病中使用的报告。NSEPTA评分球囊导管可以是一个有用的选择,高度钙化的狭窄.
