Implication

May support 5-6F diagnostic catheters as PTCA guides in select cases; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Structured PICO

Are 5 and 6 French diagnostic catheters safe and effective as guiding catheters for PTCA?

P
Population
14 patients undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), mean age 63 +/- 10 years. Indications included cardiogenic shock, post-myocardial infarction angina pectoris, grade III angina, and unstable angina pectoris.
I
Intervention
5 and 6 French diagnostic catheters used as guiding catheters for PTCA with fixed-wire balloon catheters
O
Outcome
Procedural success (reduction in stenosis) and complicationssurrogate

Initial experience suggests that 5 and 6 French diagnostic catheters can be successfully and safely used as guiding catheters for PTCA in selected patients.
