title: Intracoronary stent implantation: new approach using a monorail system and new large-lumen 7F catheters from the brachial route.
abstract: In this brief report we describe a case of successful multivessel PTCA with intracoronary stent implantation using a new large-lumen 7F catheter from the left brachial approach. The application of this technique should be considered for intravascular stent implantation when anticoagulation ideally should not be interrupted or in anatomical situations limiting femoral vascular access.
