Amplatz guiding catheters have traditionally been recommended for performing Left Circumflex PTCA because of their enhanced support. The Voda (Scimed Inc.) design guiding catheter may provide similar support for the left coronary artery, particularly the left circumflex, with less catheter manipulation. We prospectively randomized 40 patients to either Amplatz or Voda guiding catheters to compare ease of use and observed that a Voda design guiding catheter has more favorable characteristics for use without sacrificing support.
传统上，由于其增强的支撑性，推荐使用安普拉斯引导导管进行左旋支经皮冠状动脉腔内血管成形术（PTCA）。沃达（Scimed公司）设计的引导导管可能为左冠状动脉，尤其是左旋支，提供类似的支撑，同时减少导管操作。我们将40例患者前瞻性地随机分为使用安普拉斯或沃达引导导管两组，以比较其易用性，结果观察到沃达设计的引导导管在不牺牲支撑性的情况下具有更有利的使用特性。
