Summary:[Clinical Information] Patient initials or identifier number CSL Relevant clinical history and physical exam A 49-year-old man, with history of small perimembranous ventricular septal defect, was admitted to our unit for non-ST elevation myocardial infarction and acute pulmonary edema. Instead of working on the guidewire loop for subsequent steps of intervention, we preferred to minimize the device load in the donor artery. [...]the Corsair in the retrograde route was withdrawn to the septal branch, and a Finecross microcatheter was brought antegradely through the guidewire across the CTO.
