Abstract
Stenoses in branch vessels which originate at an acute angle to the ma in vessel represent a technically challenging anatomy for the performa nce of balloon angioplasty [PTCA]. We report a novel technique utilizi ng a distally placed perfusion balloon that facilitated guidewire plac ement and subsequent balloon angioplasty of a branch vessel stenosis.
