Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn. 1997 Apr;40(4):390-2. doi: 10.1002/(sici)1097-0304(199704)40:4<390::aid-ccd16>3.0.co;2-r.

Abstract

A new Cordis Long Brite Tip 6F guiding catheter (I.D. .064") is described. Because of its technical characteristics, this product provides greater balloon catheter support by means of deeper intubation of the right coronary artery (RCA). We present our experience with a Shepherd's Crook RCA lesion PTCA procedure.
