title: PTCA procedure for Shepherd's Crook right coronary artery lesion with a new long soft-tip 6F guiding catheter.
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.
