Abstract
A modification of the standard percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) procedure is described using a power injector instead of a hand‐held syringe for distal coronary contrast injections. This system was used in 215 dilatations without complications related to the power injector. We found this system to simplify the PTCA procedure and allowed for improved distal visualization even with the steerable PTCA catheters containing an intraluminal guide wire.Keywords
