Direct Wire Pacing for Challenging Left Main Stenting: An Old Technique Revived

J Invasive Cardiol. 2021 Dec;33(12):E1010.

Abstract

During stent positioning after predilating with a non-compliant balloon, we observed major motion of our device in the left main coronary artery. Under those conditions, accurate stent placement was uncertain. To remedy this situation, we decided to perform a rapid direct wire pacing with a good final angiographic result.

Keywords: percutaneous coronary intervention; rapid pacing.
