With the improvement of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the miniaturization of devices has continued. We have developed a virtual 2‐Fr system that is the slenderest system to date. The outer diameter of the system using a 4‐Fr sheathless guiding catheter is ∼2‐Fr size. We report a case successfully treated using this new system. This novel virtual 2‐Fr system has the potential to provide less invasive PCI during vascular access and to reduce patient morbidity. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
