title: Hugging balloon angioplasty of right coronary artery.
abstract: We report a case of "hugging balloon" dilatation of a giant right coronary artery using two dilatation catheters, a balloon "on a wire" and a balloon "rapid exchange" systems via a single guiding catheter. The necessity of larger PTCA balloon catheter (> 4.0 mm) was stressed.
