Coronary artery disease can affect the septal perforator arteries and cause clinical sequelae, including angina, infarction of the interventricular septum, arrhythmias, and congestive heart failure. However, the size and the course of the septal perforator arteries significantly differ from those of the major epicardial coronary vessels. These anatomic features present certain technical challenges for angioplasty of the septal arteries. This case demonstrates that application of an ultralow-profile balloon-over-the-wire system can meet the specific requirements of septal artery angioplasty and achieve adequate results.
冠状动脉疾病可影响间隔穿支动脉并导致临床后果，包括心绞痛、室间隔梗死、心律失常和充血性心力衰竭。然而，间隔穿支动脉的大小和走行与主要的心外膜冠状动脉血管显著不同。这些解剖特征给间隔动脉血管成形术带来了一定的技术挑战。本病例表明，应用超低压导丝球囊系统可满足间隔动脉血管成形术的特定要求并取得满意效果。
