Balloon internal fixation- a novel approach to manipulate
catheter knot
Abstract: Trans-radial approach (TRA) is nowdays a more common
approach during percutaneous coronary angiography and intervention.
Catheter knot is rare but still a matter of concern for a catheterizing
cardiologist. Hence, we describe our case of catheter unknotting using
balloon internal fixation of angiography catheter.
