| Popis: | The TEGwire percutaneous transluminal angioplasty balloon on a guide wire was used successfully for dilation of a proximal superior mesenteric arterial stenosis that was not well suited to dilation by conventional angioplasty catheters. After the stenosis was dilated, however, the balloon deflated only partially due to a kink in the TEGwire as it coursed over the acute angle between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery. Several unsuccessful attempts to correct this problem were made; finally, the partially deflated balloon and the guide catheter had to be withdrawn. Although the TEGwire was used within the guidelines and recommendations of the product, this experience supports the manufacturer's recommendation that the TEGwire system should not be used with narrow-radius vascular curves such as that formed between the superior mesenteric artery and the aorta. |
