ABSTRACT:
A right coronary catheter for use in selective coronary arteriography using a femoral artery approach. The catheter is preformed to permit insertion of the catheter tip into the orifice of the right coronary artery without substantial rotation of the catheter body. In addition, the configuration of the catheter renders it adaptable to most coronary anatomies thereby avoiding the need to estimate and preselect a catheter geometry for each individual patient variation.
