چکیده

The use of certain large-caliber (ie, 7F to 9F) coronary guiding catheters for selected neuroendovascular procedures is described in the context of surveying recently developed neurovascular guiding catheters. These large-caliber guiding catheters have proved useful in situations requiring proximal access to tortuous brachiocephalic arteries, permitting coaxial delivery of relatively large neurointerventional devices, such as most detachable balloons and 5F percutaneous transluminal angioplasty catheters. These large-caliber coronary guiding catheters have some important advantages over both old and new neurovascular guiding catheters, including favorably preshaped configurations and superior torque control. These features permit relatively easy direct selective catheterization of unfavorable vascular anatomy resulting from dolichoectasia of the aortic arch and great vessels.

Radiological Quality of Coronary Guiding Quantitative Analysis Catheters : A

Quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) is a validated and widely accepted method to investigate changes in arterial dimension over time. Calibration of measurements is enabled by the use of the coronary catheter as a scaling device. The dimensions and laminar composition of coronary catheters, however, have changed significantly over recent years and the suitability of the current generation o...

Transradial percutaneous coronary intervention for chronic total occlusion of coronary artery disease using sheathless standard guiding catheters

OBJECTIVES Our aim was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of routine transradial approach (TRA) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusion (CTO) lesions using the sheathless technique with standard guiding catheters. BACKGROUND Transradial approach PCI was applied for CTO lesions. A major limitation of TRA CTO PCI is the inability to use large guiding catheters b...

Feasibility of virtual 3-Fr percutaneous coronary intervention using standard guiding catheters

INTRODUCTION Recent studies have reported the efficacy of sheathless percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using hydrophilic-coated 5-Fr guiding catheters that are one to two Fr sizes smaller in diameter than the corresponding introducer sheath (virtual 3-Fr PCI). However, the limited number of shapes of hydrophilic-coated guiding catheters occasionally makes them difficult to engage and con...

Angioplasty of chronic total coronary occlusions with the use of six French guiding catheters.

The efficacy of 6 French guiding catheters for angioplasty of chronic total coronary occlusions was evaluated in 61 consecutive patients. The duration of the occlusion was determined angiographically, or estimated from an index clinical event. Endpoints were procedural success, defined as recanalization with less than 50% residual stenosis without major complications; and the need to change to ...

Use of 5 French Guiding Catheters in Transradial Coronary Intervention Procedures

Background: Transradial coronary intervention (TRI) is a widely practiced procedure in Taiwan. Most TRIs are performed using 6 French guiding catheters. Use of smaller-sized vascular sheaths and guiding catheters may further decrease the incidence of vascular access complication, but demand more operator experience and skills in manipulation of the catheter. We report our experience in using 5 ...
