Sheathless guiding catheter from a femoral approach for complex percutaneous coronary interventions —An unusual solution for an often‐encountered problem

Abstract

Abstract Sheathless guiding catheters are a valuable tool in the catheterization labor and may assist the operator when dealing with heavily calcified and tortuous vessels. Nevertheless, when hostile anatomy prevents successful percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) from the radial access, transfemoral use of sheathless guide can assist in overcoming these challenges in a safe manner.
