Abstract

We encountered a case in whom a coronary stent was unable to be passed through the curved region in the mid-coronary artery during PCI for a peripheral lesion of the right coronary artery. We employed a new and simple technique using a Scoreflex balloon catheter, the so-called Scoreflex method, by which the stent was successfully advanced without a new device. Here, we report the effectiveness of this method.
