Abstract

Balloon and microcatheter uncrossable lesions can be challenging to treat. Possible treatment options include small balloons, increasing guide catheter support, using specialized microcatheters, laser, atherectomy, or extraplaque crossing strategies. The FineCross M3 microcatheter (Terumo) has a low-profile and a hydrophilic coating. We describe three cases of successful use of the FineCross M3 to cross balloon/microcatheter uncrossable lesions after failure of other crossing modalities, highlighting its favorable combination of crossing ability and safety profile, including a securely attached distal marker with lower risk of tip separation than some alternative low-profile microcatheters.

FineCross M3微导管用于球囊不可穿越病变。

球囊和微导管无法跨越的病变治疗起来很有挑战性。可能的治疗选择包括小球囊、增加导尿管支持、使用专门的微导管、激光、动脉粥样硬化切除术或斑块外穿越策略。FineCross M3微导管（Terumo）具有低轮廓和亲水涂层。我们描述了三个成功使用FineCross M3在其他交叉方式失败后通过球囊/微导管无法交叉病变的案例，突出了其交叉能力和安全性的良好组合，包括安全附着的远端标记物，其尖端分离的风险低于一些替代的低姿态微导管。

期刊介绍： Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions is an international journal covering the broad field of cardiovascular diseases. Subject material includes basic and clinical information that is derived from or related to invasive and interventional coronary or peripheral vascular techniques. The journal focuses on material that will be of immediate practical value to physicians providing patient care in the clinical laboratory setting. To accomplish this, the journal publishes Preliminary Reports and Work In Progress articles that complement the traditional Original Studies, Case Reports, and Comprehensive Reviews. Perspective and insight concerning controversial subjects and evolving technologies are provided regularly through Editorial Commentaries furnished by members of the Editorial Board and other experts. Articles are subject to double-blind peer review and complete editorial evaluation prior to any decision regarding acceptability.
