Guide extensions: tips + tricks
1. Pushrod under towel
2. Delivery:
• Inchworming (preferred)
• BAT, distal anchor
3. Advance wires under fluoro
4. Do not advance proximal collar outside guide
5. Trapping is difficult
6. Mother-daughter-granddaughter
7. Proximal to distal stenting feasible
8. Compatibility
BAT: Balloon-
Assisted Tracking
