Successful Intravascular Ultrasound-Guided Transradial Coronary Intervention with a 4Fr Guiding Catheter
نویسندگان
چکیده
Minimizing the catheter size can reduce vascular access complications and contrast dye usage in coronary angiography. The small diameter of the 4Fr guiding catheter has limited the use of several angioplasty devices such as intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in the past. However, the combination of a novel IVUS catheter and a 0.010 guidewire makes it possible to perform IVUS-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with a 4Fr guiding catheter. We herein report the case of a 51-year-old man with silent myocardial ischemia who underwent IVUS-guided transradial PCI with a 4Fr guiding catheter.

Feasibility of Transradial Coronary Intervention Using a Sheathless Guiding Catheter in Patients With Small Radial Artery
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Transradial coronary angiography and intervention are increasing in frequency due to lower major vascular access site complications and the potential for early mobilization. However, the small size of the radial artery (RA) is a major limitation of this technique. A sheathless guiding catheter (GC) has recently been introduced that has a 1-2 French smaller diameter com...
متن کاملA Case of Sheathless Transradial Coronary Intervention for Complex Coronary Lesions with a Standard Guiding Catheter
One of the major limitations of transradial coronary intervention is the inability to use large guiding system, which leads to the development of dedicated sheathless guide catheter system. However, these devices are not available in the Republic of Korea. We present a case in which conventional guiding catheter was used for sheathless transradial coronary intervention in the treatment of compl...
متن کاملAn alternative approach in tortuous coronary artery and distal stenosis during transradial percutaneous coronary intervention: deep engagement by a 5-Fr guiding catheter.
Transradial approach for percutaneous interventions has emerged as an alternative to transfemoral access which is known to be more associated with vascular local complications. However, lack of guiding-catheter support via the radial access is one of the problems encountering the operators. Many solutions have been proposed to overcome this problem. We report on a 62-year-old man with tight ste...
متن کاملIntravascular Ultrasound guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for the Ostial Lesion of the Anomalous Left Circumflex Artery Originated from Left Coronary Cusp Directly
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for the ostial lesion of the anomalous left circumflex artery (LCX) originating from the left coronary cusp is challenging because of the difficulty in correctly determining the position of the ostium. This report examines the case of an 81-year-old man with a non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction with an anomalous LCX origin. An angiography sho...
متن کاملMapping Intravascular Ultrasound Controversies in Interventional Cardiology Practice
Intravascular ultrasound is a catheter-based imaging modality that was developed to investigate the condition of coronary arteries and assess the vulnerability of coronary atherosclerotic plaques in particular. Since its introduction in the clinic 20 years ago, use of intravascular ultrasound innovation has been relatively limited. Intravascular ultrasound remains a niche technology; its clinic...
