Abstract

Difficulty in stent delivery is frequently encountered in cases of tortuous or calcified coronary arteries. Chronic total occlusion interventions often require extra back-up that may not be adequately provided by guiding catheters, even the most supportive guiding catheters. We report the first successful stenting of a complex native coronary artery occlusion through an angulated bypass graft with the support of a GuideLiner catheter.
