Popis: The our initial experience in this hospital with the GuideLiner™, a ‘child’ type rapid exchange guide catheter extension, designed to facilitate stent and balloon delivery in complex percutaneous coronary interventions, is reported. This guide catheter extension was used in one case of a complex coronary lesion, in another case of complex anatomy and in a third case with dissection of the left internal thoracic artery graft. All of the procedures were performed successfully. The GuideLiner™ can be used to treat complex artery lesions and to treat complications during the procedure.
