The GuideLiner Catheter – A supportive tool in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention of Chronic Total Occlusion

Conclusions In conclusion the GL catheter is an adjunctive interventional device which enhances and amplifies CTO-PCI. Its use is indicated in cases in which back up force needs to be strengthened to pass a CTO despite advanced calcification. It can be recommended as an important additional tool in advanced interventional cardiology such as antegrade and retrograde CTO-PCI if other techinques like anchor balloon or anchor wire are not possible.
