Failure of stent delivery during percutaneous coronary intervention is one of the common causes of procedural failure. The GuideLiner catheter is a novel device with rapid exchange characteristic that ease the device delivery in deep vessel. We are reporting four cases on the usefulness of the GuideLiner catheter during percutaneous coronary intervention to enable stenting in complex, calcified, tortuous or distal lesions.
