An improved catheter for insertion into the right coronary artery of a cardiovascular system including an elongated, preshaped tubular member comprising a first straight portion extending from the proximal end of the catheter and a distal end portion extending from the straight portion and bent in a unique manner to rest along the inner wall of said artery and to enable the distal end to be precisely located relative to the artery.
