ABSTRACT:
A catheter for the right coronary artery where the catheter includes a substantially straight proximal shaft section and a distal shaft section. The distal shaft section includes a support arm which is sized to traverse the aortic root such that the one end of the support arm rests against the aortic wall opposite the right coronary ostium and the other end of the support arm rests in the right coronary ostium. The support arm provides for increased back-up support by utilizing the opposite aortic wall. The distal shaft section further includes a tertiary curve disposed proximal of the support arm. The tertiary curve has an arc angle of less than about 90 degrees such that torque may be readily transmitted from the proximal shaft section to the support arm thereby facilitating controlled tip manipulation. Methods of using such a catheter are also disclosed.
