ABSTRACT:
An angioplasty guide catheter adapted for use within a cardiovascular system and cooperable with a left main coronary artery. The guide catheter has a distal end portion such that with a distal tip of the distal end portion coaxially intubated within an ostium of the left main coronary artery fully disposed within the cardiovascular system, a portion of the distal end portion rests against and is substantially contiguous with a wall of the ascending aorta. A distal end of the resting portion is substantially directly opposite the ostium of the left main coronary artery and a portion of the distal end portion defines a generally rectilinear axis of support extending from the distal end of the resting portion across the ascending aorta to the ostium of the left main coronary artery.
