ABSTRACT:
A stylet for guiding a retrograde coronary sinus cannula into a coronary sinus. The stylet comprises an elongate shaft having proximal and distal ends, and a handle at the proximal end of the shaft. The handle includes a lever extending laterally outwardly relative to the shaft. The lever has a notch for receiving a digit of the user generally adjacent the shaft to define a fulcrum generally adjacent the shaft, with the lever extending laterally outwardly beyond the notch to facilitate rotation of the stylet around the longitudinal axis of the shaft. Also disclosed are first and second opposed indentations in a cylindrical portion of the handle.
