To determine if slow inflation or slow deflation (compared to standard rapid inflation/deflation) would minimize coronary arterial dissection, we randomized 162 lesions from 136 patients undergoing coronary angioplasty with polyolefin copolymer balloons to slow oscillating (1 atmosphere/20 sec) vs. rapid (over 30 sec) inflation and slow (over 15 sec) vs. rapid deflation. The incidence of any dissection was nearly identical in the four inflation/deflation groups. The incidence of severe dissection, however, was significantly higher for the slow inflation/slow deflation group compared to the other three groups (38% vs. 15%, P = .024). For angioplasty performed with polyolefin copolymer balloons, slow deflation combined with slow oscillating inflation is associated with more frequent severe dissections.
