Buddy Catheter Technique: A Method of Guiding the Mo.Ma Ultra into a Left Common Carotid Artery That Branches off the Aortic Arch at a Steep Angle.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: The Mo.Ma Ultra is an embolic protection device used in carotid artery stenting (CAS). In cases of left internal carotid artery stenosis (ICS) in which the common carotid artery (CCA) branches off the aortic arch at a steep angle, insertion of the Mo.Ma Ultra into the CCA is sometimes difficult. We introduce a "buddy catheter technique" that helps guide the Mo.Ma Ultra into the CCA, with an additional 4 Fr catheter into the external carotid artery. Case Presentation: An 84-year-old man with left ICS whose CCA also branched off the aortic arch at a steep angle also underwent CAS. The "buddy catheter technique" was used, and the Mo.Ma Ultra was inserted smoothly. The buddy catheter technique displaces the left CCA upward. Displacement straightens the vessels anatomically, and the ledge effect can be prevented by aligning the course of the vessels with the wire. Nevertheless, this technique requires bilateral femoral puncture, and so, complications can occur. Conclusion: The buddy catheter technique may be considered in cases in which the left CCA branches off the aortic arch at a steep angle.
