Stent supported angioplasty is being performed in an increasing number of patients and, with advances in device technology, more morphologically complex lesions are being treated. In such a setting, it is extremely important to deliver the device to the target lesion. We describe a new technique that allows successful stent delivery in complex right coronary anatomy using the Judkins right guiding catheter.
