GUIDEWIRE SHAPE MODIFICATION: A SIMPLE TECHNIQUE TO PREVENT CONDUCTION SYSTEM INJURIES DURING TRANSCATHETER VALVE IMPLANTATION
Anno:
2024
BACKGROUND Atrioventricular (AV) conduction abnormalities remain one of the important unsolved issues with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). To minimize trauma on the conduction fibers, we introduced a simple technique involving the bending of the stiff guidewire wire at the level of the arch to prevent and minimize contact…
