RESUMO

Catheter-related complications associated with coronary arteriography remain an iatrogenic hazard with life-threatening consequences. Because such complications may be related to catheter-tip-induced vascular trauma during coronary angiography or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), several types of deformable, soft-tip angiographic catheters have been developed. The following study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of one of these catheters, as well as of conventional catheters, in canine arteries.
