Amplatzing a 6 Fr Judkins right guiding catheter for increased success in complex right coronary artery anatomy

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2001 Jul;53(3):405-9. doi: 10.1002/ccd.1191.

Abstract

Stent supported angioplasty is being performed in an increasing number of patients and, with advances in device technology, more morphologically complex lesions are being treated. In such a setting, it is extremely important to deliver the device to the target lesion. We describe a new technique that allows successful stent delivery in complex right coronary anatomy using the Judkins right guiding catheter. Cathet Cardiovasc Intervent 2001;53:405-409.
