Abstract
Failure to deliver stents is one of the commonest causes of procedural failure in contemporary PCI practice. We describe successful use of the Guideliner Catheter, the first purpose designed FDA and CE marked device delivery catheter in 13 complex cases in native coronary vessels and bypass grafts performed via the radial route to enable distal stent delivery following failure of conventional techniques. We discuss how the Guideliner catheter may be used to facilitate difficult radial cases. © 2010 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
