Excerpt
In recent years, with the spread of transradial coronary intervention (TRI) and use of small-diameter catheters, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been showing a tendency to less invasive. Yoshimachi et al. showed PCI with the 5F guiding catheter (GC) system was safe and feasible, and radial artery occlusion and major bleeding complications were extremely low [
1]. However, since back-up force of 5F GC is weaker than 6F or 7F, various ideas are needed to strengthen back-up force for complex lesion. …
