Amplatzing a 6 Fr Judkins right guiding catheter for increased success in complex right coronary artery anatomy.
Stent supported angioplasty is being performed in an increasing number of patients and, with advances in device technology, more morphologically complex lesions are being treated. In such a setting, it is extremely important to deliver the device to the target lesion. We describe a new technique that allows successful stent delivery in complex right coronary anatomy using the Judkins right guiding catheter. Cathet Cardiovasc Intervent 2001;53:405-409.
