Why the study?
Does the Venture Catheter facilitate successful percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with angulated ostial lesions beyond the insertion point of coronary artery bypass grafts?
Does the Venture Catheter facilitate successful percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with angulated ostial lesions beyond the insertion point of coronary artery bypass grafts?
The Venture Catheter can facilitate successful PCI in complex angulated ostial lesions beyond CABG insertion points when conventional guidewires fail.

May support Venture Catheter in refractory post-CABG ostial lesions; hypothesis-generating case series leaves efficacy open.
We present three patients with angulated ostial lesions beyond the insertion point of coronary artery bypass grafts. Use of the Venture Catheter, a deflectable tip 3.5F wire control catheter, facilitated successful percutaneous coronary intervention after prolonged, unsuccessful attempts at conventional guidewire passage.
