Dual guiding catheters for saphenous venous graft protection during native coronary angioplasty.
The simultaneous use of two guiding catheters during angioplasty has been previously described for native coronary artery bifurcation lesions. We describe a case in which a dual guiding catheter, dual guidewire technique is used for angioplasty of a native vessel lesion spanning the anastomotic site of a sequential saphenous vein graft.
