Coronary stenting through 6 French guiding catheters
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Diagnosis
|March 1, 1993
Insights
This study shows that 6 French guiding catheters can be successfully used for Palmaz-Schatz stent delivery in coronary arteries. This offers a less invasive option compared to larger catheters typically used in stent implantation.
Area of Science:
- Interventional Cardiology
- Medical Device Technology
Background:
- Traditional coronary stent implantation often necessitates large-diameter guiding catheters.
- This can increase procedural invasiveness and patient risk.
Abstract:
Most stent implantation procedures currently require the use of large-diameter guiding catheters. We describe our preliminary successful experience with 6 French guiding catheters to deliver balloon-expandable Palmaz-Schatz stents to the coronary arteries.
