Manipulation of thin-walled coronary guiding catheters, especially directional coronary atherectomy guides, may sometimes be difficult. This is particularly so in patients with tortuous or ectatic aorto-iliac arterial systems. To improve torque transmission and eliminate kinking, the introducer cath

Large lumen guiding catheters (9.5 to 11 French) are currently required to perform directional atherectomy. These rigid guiding catheters require modifications of usual techniques for manipulation and can induce ostial trauma and peripheral vascular complications. A new type of 9 French guiding cat
Use of 6 French guiding catheters for elective percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty has been limited by lack of a compatible autoperfusion balloon catheter for management of complications such as acute vessel closure and large subinti-ma1 dissections. We describe the successful use of a lo
The initial in-hospital and long-term clinical experience with a helical autoperfusion balloon catheter in the treatment of coronary artery disease is reported. This new catheter design allows blood to flow passively around the inflated balloon through a protected helical channel molded into the bal
A new balloon catheter design utilizing multiple polymeric materials to produce noncompliant balloon ends and a compliant central portion has recently been released. We describe two cases, a discrete fibrotic lesion and final dilation of an intracoronary stent, in which this novel balloon catheter h
