Problem
In complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures, interventional cardiologists often face challenges in reaching distal lesions, particularly when using radial access, which can limit the reach and maneuverability of standard guide catheters. Conversion to femoral access may be required, adding complexity and potential complications.
Solution
Seigla Medical's liquID® Guide Catheter Extension (GCE) is designed to extend the reach of standard guide catheters, enabling interventional cardiologists to access and treat distal lesions without compromising the radial approach. The liquID® GCE features a large inner diameter and a thin wall, maximizing compatibility with various interventional devices while maintaining a low profile. This allows for the delivery of therapies to the target site, even in complex PCI cases, without the need to switch to femoral access.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes interventional cardiologists performing complex PCI procedures, particularly those utilizing radial access, and hospitals or clinics specializing in cardiovascular interventions.
Features
- Available in .061" and .071" inner diameters to accommodate a range of interventional devices.
- 15cm exchange port designed to keep device interactions out of tortuous subclavian segments, particularly beneficial for radial access procedures.
- Thin wall construction (0.0030″ vs 0.0050″) provides a larger lumen compared to standard guide catheter extensions.
- Radiopaque, close-wound coil facilitates clear visualization and precise positioning under fluoroscopy.
- Atraumatic, rounded tip minimizes vessel trauma during advancement.
- Bi-metal precision engineered coil coated with an ultra-thin polymer for strength and flexibility.
- Compatible with 6Fr and 7Fr guide catheters, supporting a range of procedural needs.
