The IKARI Curves Technical aspects Trans-radial approach How to improve guiding catheter back-upin TRI using the IKARI curve- physics of guide catheter - Trans-Radial Intervention Yuji Ikari, MD, PhD Tokai University, Japan Yuji Ikari, MD
Background • We need sufficient backup support of guide catheters in TRI as well as TFI. • We need to know the mechanism how the guide catheters generate backup force. Technical aspects
Ikari guide catheters Ikari Curves Ikari R (IR) 1.5 Ikari L (IL) 4
If Fcosq≤ l (static friction), the guiding catheter works. If Fcosq > l, system collapses. Hypothesis hypothesis • Thus, Maximun backup force (Fmax) is: l Fmax = ―― cosq IKARI curve
We try to explain several common findings using the hypothesis in the following slides. Experiments
1. Role of q • If q is larger and close to 90° • the backup force is greater. Results
P<0.05 θr θf Judkins L can generate greater backup force in TFI than in TRI. l Fmax = ―――― cosq Judkins Left TFI vs TRI

2. Role of static friction (l) If the static friction is larger, the backup force is greater.

Considerations aboutthe static friction l Fmax = ―――― cosq P<0.05 Static friction
3. Consideration about the brachiocephalic angle Is the brachiocephalic angle responsible for less backup in TRI?
Considerations about the brachiocephalic angle l Fmax = ―――― cosq Brachio- Cephalic angle
Considerations about the brachiocephalic angle n.s. Brachio- Cephalic angle The brachiocephalic angle is not responsible for less backup. However, JL3.5 with angle is easy to engage in TRI.
Summary This new hypothesis can explain several common observations in the manipulation of guiding catheters. l Fmax = ―――― cosq summary • = static friction within the aorta wall F = back-up force
Conclusion • Ikari catheter can generate greater backup force in TRI. • The hypothesis may explain several guiding catheter problems. conclusion
