The sheath used was a 7f destination for the contralateral approach.The angle of the cia branch was too tight to rotate the destination to the contralateral side, and there was a lot of trouble with balloon anchors, etc., but it managed to be rotated to the contralateral side.Jetstream 1.85 was used, but the rotation stopped when attempted to break through the stenosis where calcification was the most severe.There was no problem when the lesion in front of it was cut, but a lot of resistance was felt when the catheter was brought to the lesion.It rotated fine at the start but stopped after about 3 seconds.It was stuck with the wire, so it was able to be collected by total removal.The shaft of the thruway was kinked in some places, and resistance was felt when crossing through the cia branch, probably due to the tight angle of the cia, the catheter and wire kinked and could no longer be used.Patient outcome: no patient injury.
