The principal part of bailout procedures is to keep a guidewire in the target coronary artery during the procedure.

We describe the case of an 83-year-old male with stable angina. We performed RA to the left anterior descending artery, and removed the burr using a KUSABI (Kaneka Medix Corporation, OSAKA, Japan) trapping balloon technique without activating the dynaglide mode. This simple technique would help RA operators remove a burr more re...
