Abstract:
We report here on the use of the Venture(TM) catheter to facilitate successful advancement of a guidewire across difficult, complex lesions after the prior attempts at guide wire passage were unsuccessful with using standard wires. This Venture(TM) catheter may increase the success rate and reduce the procedural time for such a challenging interventional procedure.
