Complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures are dramatically increasing in daily practice. Calcified coronary artery lesions and hostile cardiac anatomy may increase the risk of device dislodgment and/or malposition. In such situations, the use of a snare catheter is pivotal to retrieve and/or reposition the device.

Mirvat Alasnag provides her take on the CLEAR SYNERGY trial presented by Sanjit S Jolly at AHA 2024 in Chicago.

Transcatheter structural procedures are dramatically increasing in daily practice. Approaching hostile cardiac anatomy may increase the risk of device dislodgment and/or malposition. In such situations, the use of a snare catheter is pivotal to enhance device trackability.
