Double loop guiding catheters have been used for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) of the right coronary artery (RCA) in 42 consecutive cases. A catheter with a 90‐ degree primary curve was used when the proximal RCA had horizontal or inferior orientation. When the proximal segment of the RCA was oriented superiorly (shepherd's crook), the catheter with a 75‐degree primary curve was used. Catheters were fabricated with short (1.5 cm) or long (2.3 cm) (USCI, C.R. Bard, Inc., Billerica, MA) distal tips. Short‐tip catheters were satisfactory in the majority of cases. When the RCA had a complex course and more backup was necessary or when the ascending aorta was wide, long‐tip catheters were found to be the best choice.Angioplasty of 49 lesions was attempted in 42 consecutive patients. In 39 patients successful dilatation was achieved (93%). In three patients the procedure was unsuccessful. In one patient, the lesion could not be crossed with the guidewire despite an excellent backup. In another patient, two of three stenoses were dilated successfully; the distal lesion was crossed with a guidewire but could not be crossed with the balloon catheter in spite of a good backup. The lack of a satisfactory engagement and inadequate backup were responsible for the failure in only one patient. There were no complications related to these guiding catheters. We conclude that double loop guiding catheters are safe and can be the primary choice in all right coronary angioplasties. These catheters provide an excellent backup with consequent high success rate.
