Corsair rotational bougie technique for facilitating balloon passage through a total occlusion lesion: a case report of balloon pulmonary angioplasty.

ABSTRACT: A 77-year-old man presented with dyspnoea and was diagnosed with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. Balloon pulmonary angioplasty was attempted; however, the balloons could not be advanced to the total occlusion lesion in the right A3 segment. The obstruction was overcome using a microcatheter Corsair (AsahiKASEI). This technique may be useful in managing a total occlusion lesion.
