Abstract :GuideLiner support catheter insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Vascular Solutions, Inc.); has been used for successful percutaneous intervention insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PCI); of very tortuous or rigid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(owing to prior stenting or extensive calcification); coronary arteries, mainly for distal delivery of balloons or stents insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1);, or for an intervention through anomalous left main coronary artery insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2); or right coronary artery with anterior take off insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3);. We wanted to report a case where we had very poor back up support from Judkins left GC during PCI of a chronic total occlusion insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CTO); of circumflex insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LCX); coronary artery via radial approach and used GuideLiner support catheter and a buddy wire which enabled us to complete the case successfully without a need for femoral access.
