Auto Draft
First usage in the Netherlands of the GoBack™ Catheter from Upstream Peripheral Technologies, Ltd. by the Isala (ziekenhuis).
58 Year old man with left sided Critical Limb Ischemia and right sided Claudication. Massive calcification of the Aortic-Iliac Arteries with an occlusion of the proximal left CIA.
Subintimal positioning of the guidewire at the bifurcation. The GoBack™ Catheter was positioned to obtain a re-entry into the true lumen. Contra-lateral inflation of a 8mm-4cm balloon, which was intentionally punctured with the GoBack™ Catheter for advancing a 0.018” guidewire into the true lumen.
At the left CIA a Getinge Advanta V12 7mm-59mm covered stent was placed, at the right CIA a PTA was performed.
With special thanks to Maurice Pierie, Jacques Oskam, Lennart Steenbeek and the whole team of the OR.
