Abstract: | Directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) of a saphenous vein bypass graft to the left coronary artery was performed percutaneously from the brachial artery approach using a 7F endomyocardial biopsy sheath. Initial positioning was accomplished with a left bypass graft catheter inserted in the sheath. This technique permits use of smaller catheters than usual for DCA in patients in whom larger guides cannot be used. © 1993 Wiiey-Liss, Inc. |
