From the legs to the coronaries: How Andreas Grüntzig reached his dream
In this final episode, Chiara De Biase and Jean Marco trace the journey of transluminal angioplasty from Charles Dotter in the US to Andreas Grüntzig in Europe. Grüntzig's vision was to apply balloon angioplasty to treat coronary artery stenosis, for which he defined clear goals and working axes....
How to avoid using a new balloon for trapping?
10 Jul 2025
Trapping wires during complex PCI is essential but dedicated trapping balloons aren’t always on hand — and costs add up fast. This My Toolkit tip shows you how to safely reuse a standard PTCA balloon by stiffening its shaft with the original stylet, making valve crossing...
