Abstract
Supporting catheters in percutaneous stenting of anatomically difficult coronary lesions are utilized by interventional cardiologists. The GuideZilla guide extension catheter is designed for deep seating in coronary arteries to provide extra guidance support for equipment delivery during difficult coronary interventions or for coaxial alignment in tortuous vessels. There are limited GuideZilla-related complications reported in the literature. We present a challenging case of a left main and left anterior descending artery dissection, complicated with stent stripping off the delivery balloon by the GuideZilla support catheter.
