Abstract:
Unusually angulated coronary anatomy can decrease the success rate of coronary interventions by hindering successful wiring and equipment delivery. Additionally, due to the technical challenges involved, there is increased risk for complications such as perforations, dissections, stent loss, and equipment entrapment. In this case series, we illustrate the advantages of using angulated microcatheters to facilitate successful treatment of such patients in various clinical scenarios.
