  • Title: Adaptor device for shortening guide catheters to access distal lesions in coronary angioplasty.
    Author: Chan RC, Rihal CS, Menke KK, Winter SJ, Holmes DR.
    Journal: Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn; 1993 Nov; 30(3):249-51. PubMed ID: 8269499.
    Abstract:
    One of the challenges in interventional cardiology is accessing distal stenoses in both native coronary arteries and bypass grafts. This article reports the fabrication and use of an adaptor device that can be connected to the proximal segment of a shortened guide catheter for easier and safer access to these distal lesions.
