Supports feasibility of 4F diagnostic catheters as guides in select cases; leaves open safety, efficacy, and complication reduction in larger cohorts.
Demonstrates the technical feasibility of using 4 French diagnostic catheters as guiding catheters for coronary angioplasty.
Moles et al. (1992) studied this question. Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty was successfully performed through 4 French diagnostic catheters using fixed-wire balloons in two patients with coronary artery stenosis.
