This document discusses various techniques for improving support during transradial catheterization procedures, including using guide catheters with backup support, extra-support guidewires, buddy wires, larger 7-8 French guide catheters, anchoring balloons placed in branches, deep intubation of guide catheters, and guide catheter extensions. It provides guidance on how to select the appropriate technique based on the vessel accessed and level of support needed.

6. GC with good back-up support: LCA
JL provides poor back-up support
7. GC with good back-up support: LCA
JL provides poor back-up support
Extra back-up curves provide > support
JL: TRA vs TFA JL vs Extra Back-up
8. GC with good back-up support: LCA
Use the longest extra-backup that fits

9. GC with good back-up support: LCA
AL2 sometimes useful, especially for LCX
10. GC with good back-up support: RCA
AL provides more support than JR

12. Anchoring balloon
Choose a branch that is unlikely to cause ischaemia
Choose an 1:1 balloon and keep it inflated at low
pressure

2 systems:
- Mother & child 5 in 6: 120 cm straight 5F GC. OTW
- Guideliner (5in6, 6in7): 150 cm. RX.
26. Summary
1. Just tortuosity? Is a buddy wire or extra-support wire
enough?
2. Would an Amplatz help? Is there a suitable branch for
anchoring balloon?
3. Can I deeply intubate with my GC?
4. Do I need 5 in 6?
5. Do I need to upsize my catheter?
6. Do I need second attempt via left radial or femoral?
STEMNI, prox LAD occlusion
JL GC gets out of the LM ostium when advancing thromboaspiration cath
Place of contact on the contralat aorta is differente from R vs F: less stable, less backup support
The area of contact on the contralat aorta is larger for XB, therefore XB generate greater backup force than JL
More difficult to manipulate
> Risc of damaging LM
AL 0.75 usually fits from TRA. Increased risk of damaging prox RCA.
Feasible if RCA has ccod caliber and No significant disease
When using 5in6. BE CAUTIOUS WITH: PRESSURE. AIR EMBOLISM.
Guideliner prev generation: vessel dissection , stent dislodgement
Long calcified lesion on LAD. Good back up support (EBU4). BHW as buddy wire. Sould not reach the most calcified part of the plaque
