However, this can only be done when the guidewire has a soft tip. If this method fails to stop the exit port encoun­tering the vessel wall, there are two other techniques to try. The rst technique (used conventionally) is to remove the imaging core of the IVUS catheter and to introduce a guide­wire with a stiff tip into its shaft. The stiff tip of the guide­wire will straighten the IVUS catheter around its exit port and direct the catheter toward the larger curvature of a bend. This may shift the exit port away from the obstruction and facilitate withdrawal of the catheter (Fig.5.46c). The second technique is to advance a balloon along the guidewire of the IVUS catheter as far as the exit port and thus create another gap to offset the gap at the exit port that is preventing smooth withdrawal of the catheter (Fig.5.46d).
If the shaft of the IVUS catheter needs to be disassembled for removal of the imaging core, the second technique using a balloon is the only option. To permit delivery of a balloon catheter together with an IVUS catheter, a 7-Fr or larger guiding catheter is needed. This is one reason why I choose a 7-Fr guiding catheter for PCI of a bifurcation lesion, CTO, or severely calcied lesion.

During advancement, a device may be caught by irregularities on the larger curvature of a bend (a). During withdrawal, a device may be caught by irregularities on the smaller curvature of a bend (b)
during withdrawal of the catheter. Forcible attempts to withdraw the catheter after it has become caught on a stent strut may lead to deforma­tion of the stent. (b) Advancing a guidewire into the IVUS catheter may direct the catheter toward the larger curvature at a bend. (c) Sliding the imaging core back slightly and then advancing a guidewire into the IVUS catheter may straighten the catheter around the exit port and facilitate withdrawal. (d) Advancing a balloon along the guidewire to the exit port creates a large reverse gap, which will offset the gap at the exit port and facilitate withdrawal of the catheter

5.10.2 If theIVUS Catheter Is Caught,
ButNot Stuck
There might be little difculty withdrawing an IVUS cath­eter through an implanted six-link stent (Cypher) or three­link stent (Xience).
However, you must pay attention if a device is even slightly caught by the strut of a two-link stent, because this may induce subtle stent deformation that cannot be identi­ed by CAG and leads to subsequent in-stent thrombosis
or restenosis. Of course, such stent deformation will not be found by IVUS if it occurs during withdrawal of the IVUS catheter. On the basis of favorable IVUS ndings, many interventionalists might mistakenly regard such deforma­tion as being unrelated to PCI.An IVUS catheter should be withdrawn slowly. If the catheter is even caught slightly dur­ing withdrawal, you should stop withdrawing it and use the abovementioned techniques to offset the gap before attempt­ing to withdraw it again (Fig.5.47).

tion (arrow).
