An anomalous story of a rare percutaneous intervention to left anterior descending/right coronary artery bifurcation

Guide catheter extension system (GCES) is a valuable tool for interventional cardiologists, especially in complex cases. GCES increases guide back-up support and is crucial in complex PCI procedures, particularly in cases of severe calcification and tortuosity. Apart from their primary use to increase back-up support of guide by providing coaxial alignment, deep intubation and facilitation of stent delivery, GCES are now being increasingly used in different clinical indications including complex and high-risk coronary intervention interventions.

An anomalous story of a rare percutaneous intervention to left anterior descending/right coronary artery bifurcation

Abstract: Bifurcation lesions in anomalous coronary arteries are rare. Percutaneous intervention in such lesions is challenging and necessitates use of nonstandard hardware like GuideLiner catheter (Vascular Solutions) for adequate access and support.
