When the road bends:a novel use of guide catheter extension in overcoming catheter kink to facilitate stent deliveryOA
Percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)via the transradial route is now standard practice,particularly in elderly patients,owing to its lower bleeding risk and early ambulation.However,agerelated vascular changes such as radial and subclavian tortuosity,elongation,and reduced arterial compliance can pose unique procedural challenges.One such challenge is catheter kinking,which can impede the smooth delivery of stents.
