`The sliding rail system (monorail): description of a new

`coronary angioplasty

`
`Summary: The sliding rail technique is a new
`technique for intravascular instrumentation, espe»
`cially coronary stenosis dilatation The so-called
`moriorail balloon catheter is the first device which
`can be used according to this technique. The
`monorail catheter has a single lumen shaft and
`only a short central tube within the distal balloon
`part. With the guidewire inserted into the tube,
`the balloon can be advanced or retracted on the
`guidewlre as on a sliding rail. The most relevant
`improvements for coronary dilatation are steera-
`bility. contrast flow and rapid and easy exchan-
`geability of balloon catheters and other intracorr
`onary devices. These characteristics are felt to re-
`
`sult in a more simple and time— and fluoroscopy—
`saving dilatation procedure. A special transfusion
`catheter may also improve procedural safety. The
`first clinical results in 69 patients with a success
`rate of 96%, an emergency bypass rate of two pa—
`tients (one infarction) and a stenosis improve-
`ment of 58% confirm the theoretically conceived
`advantages.

`
`Introduction
`
`Two essential reasons can be cited for the suc-
`cess and spread of the clinical application of cor-
`onary stenosis balloon dilatation:
`firstly,
`the
`growth of personal experience and the accumula-
`tion of information from controlled studies, and
`secondly, the technological progress of radiologi-
`cal systems (1) and balloon catheter systems (2).
`Up to now the most important improvements of
`Gr'Lintzig’s original balloon catheter have been the
`steerable systems introduced by Simpson (3), cath-
`eters with improved trackability,
`introduced by
`Hartzler, and the long wire technique promoted
`by Kaltenbach (4). Nevertheless, some properties
`of dilatation systems still need to be improved,
`such as steerability, contrast flow and the rapid
`and safe exchangeability of intracoronary devices.
`To realise these demands, we have introduced the
`sliding rail technique for intravascular instrumen-
`tation and have applied the technique with the
`monorail catheter for coronary dilatation. The
`
`name “monorail” was coined by Meier and has
`been generally accepted.
`
`Materials
`
`The monorail catheter (Schneider-Shiley, Zu—
`rick) consists of a single lumen shaft with a distal
`balloon. A short central tube within the distal bal-
`loon with openings at the end and proximal to the
`balloon serves to take up the guidewire (Fig. 1).
`Thus the guidewire runs only over a short dis-
`tance Within the distal catheter and runs outside
`and parallel to the catheter shaft over the rest of
`the distance. The single lumen catheter shaft with
`a low profile of 3 F serves for balloon inflation
`and deflation and to advance and retract the bal-
`loon over the guidewire, as on a sliding rail. The
`guidewire itself is of normal length with a diam—
`eter of 0.3 or 0.35 mm (Fig. 2).
`The procedure itself is modified as follows:
`first, the guidewire is advanced through a special

`onto the guidewire and with the guidewire fixed
`at the outside is advanced through the y-connec—
`tor until crossing the stenosis. Correspondingly,
`the balloon may be retracted, readvanced or ex-
`changed in favor of other devices or different bal—
`loon sizes. Due to the low shaft profile, the re-
`maining space within the guiding catheter of 2
`mm2 cross sectional area permits a nearly normal
`contrast flow even with highly concentrated con-
`trast medium of 370 mg/ml iodine. In compari-
`son, this remaining space is 1.5 mm2 with 3.6 F
`and 1.1 mm2 with 4.3 F balloon catheter shafts
`(Fig. 3). Distal pressure measurement is not pro-
`vided in standard monorail dilatation catheters.

`erties. The steerability of the monorail balloon
`catheter is principally that of the guidewire and is
`therefore related to the properties of the guide-
`wire itself. It is not reduced by friction within the
`long shaft of standard steerable systems or by me-
`chanical construction-related limitations of one—
`piece (“not over the wire”) balloon catheters.
`Rapid exchange or extraction, tip reshaping and
`reinsertion of guidewires can be easily performed.
`In addition, contrast can be freely injected to de-
`liniate the coronary passway. Clinical experience
`in our series showed a high stenosis crossing rate
`of nearly 100% and an average stenosis crossing
`time of 90 5.

`
`Clinical results
`
`The sliding rail principle was studied with the
`application of monorail balloon catheters in 69
`consecutive patients (49 males and 16 females)
`aged 32 to 72 years with single vessel disease
`(>50%, mean 78% diameter reduction). Angio-
`plasty was felt to be indicated with positive ECG
`or thallium exercise tests or with typical stable or
`unstable angina pectoris. Dilatation success was
`defined as diameter increase >20% normal vessel
`diameter. Stenosis distribution was LAD 50, left
`circumflex 9, right coronary artery 4, others 6 ste-
`noses. Monorail catheters were always used ini-
`tially. Overall dilatation success rate was 96%. In
`five cases, special low profile catheters (Hartzler,
`Advanced Catheter Systems, Grii'ntzig Pass Key,
`Schneider Shiley) had to be used for first stenosis
`passage because of primary failure of the mono-
`rail balloon. Stenosis passage with the monorail
`guidewire itselfwas possible in 99% of cases. A
`stenosis
`reduction to <30% was always at-
`tempted, necessitating the exchange of smaller in
`favour of larger balloons in 20 cases. The average
`final diameter improvement in successful dilata-
`tion was +58%. Mean guidewire and mean bal-
`loon passage times between y-connector and ste-
`nosis crossing were 98 s and 97 s, respectively.
`Mean balloon exchange time in 20 cases was 136
`s, including withdrawl of the first balloon from
`the distal guiding catheter, switch of indeflator
`"from first to second balloon, mounting of second
`balloon onto the guidewire and repassage of the
`.coronary stenosis. Contrast
`flow through the
`guiding catheter was not impaired at any time,
`yielding optimal stenosis morphology images be-
`fore, during and after the procedure.
`In two cases, emergency bypass surgery had to
`’be performed because of irreversible acute steno-
`sis occlusion. In the second of these cases, a trans-
`fusion catheter (not available in the first case) was
`exchanged and arterial blood taken from the con-
`tralateral femoral artery was transfused by hand
`into the distal coronary segment. The procedure
`successfully reverted ischemia until surgery. Myo-
`cardial infarction, as documented by postsurgical
`ECG and LV-angiogram, could be avoided. De-
`tails of transfusion procedures will be published
`separately.
`
`Discussion
`
`Also, with the balloon catheter in place, con—
`trast flow is not impaired because of the large re-
`maining space within a standard 8 F guiding
`catheter. Optimal contrast filling of the coronary
`stenosis with detailed morphology outlining was
`always obtained in our patients.
`On the other hand, transstenotic pressure gra-
`dients cannot be measured with standard mono-
`rail catheters. Pressure gradients are preferentially
`used by some investigators to assess dilatation re-
`sults. However, the disadvantages of pressure gra-
`dients for this purpose are: (1) they can only be
`measured with the balloon across the stenosis and
`not in the observation period after dilatation, (2)
`the reliability of pressure tracings is limited and
`(3) most of all, pressure gradients depend on the
`relation between vessel size and deflated balloon
`profile. The latter would result in normal pressure
`gradients in large vessels even with residual ste—
`noses of 50% (6) and in high residual pressure gra-
`dients in small or distal vessels. On the other
`hand, angiographic stenosis morphology provides
`primary and repeated information on stenosis di-
`ameter and also on the cause of eventual acute
`restenoses, e.g., dissection, thrombosis, etc. Thus,
`optimal visualization by undisturbed contrast
`flow in most cases will result in a broader and
`more meaningful information. This is especially
`relevant when the result of dilatation is not satis—
`factory and further therapeutic steps have to be
`considered. High
`resolution multidirectional
`imaging systems are prerequisites for this infor-
`mation (1).
`Balloon exchange could be performed without
`technical difficulties in all cases within the very
`short time of little more than 2 min. The reason
`for exchange in favor of a larger balloon was
`usually an angiographically insufficient
`result,
`e.g., a residual stenosis of more than 30% or 40%.
`In some cases, when balloon passage of the ste-
`noses was not possible, a smaller balloon was
`used for a first stenosis widening and was then
`reexchanged in favor of the first and larger bal-
`

`
`loon. In addition, a transfusion catheter could be
`successfully used in one case. Transfusion or per-
`fusion catheters are primarily designed as bail-out
`devices for temporary use in acute emergency sit-
`uations. It is expected that the time to bypass sur-
`gery in this situation may be expanded with trans-
`fusion. Manually controlled extracorporeal auto-
`transfusion — as the procedure may be called with
`the use of the monorail transfusion catheter — may
`be superior to perfusion techniques using the
`physiological pressure gradient across the steno-
`sis. These techniques rely on stable aortic pres-
`sures and provide no information on distal coron-
`ary flow. In general, up to now the clinical relia-
`bility of bail-out systems has not been established
`and further investigation is needed.
`The advantages of the sliding rail system in
`steerability, contrast flow and exchangeability of
`balloon catheters have in our experience resulted
`in a simplification of the standard dilatation pro-
`cedure, an improvement in the assessment of dila-
`tation results and an increase of safety in critical
`situations. This may be of special relevance in
`complicated stenoses of large vessels and in mul-
`tivessel disease. The reduction of investigation
`and fluoroscopy time may also be the result of a
`more simple procedure. Intended future develop
`ments include different devices for intracoronary
`diagnostic and therapeutic interventions, such as
`low profile
`transstenotic pressure
`catheters,
`Doppler catheters and hot balloons for wall weld-
`
`ing. The sliding rail technique principally enables
`the sequential use of such devices over a stable
`transstenotic guidewire.
