Intervention Catheter & Interventional Catheter Manufacturer - Shunmei

What are coronary catheters?

Coronary catheters are essential in cardiac catheterization procedures, enabling minimally invasive access to the heart and arteries for diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease. Four different types coronary catheters are available.

Coronary diagnostic catheter: A flexible coronary catheter used to inject contrast dye for diagnostic imaging during coronary angiography.

Coronary guiding catheter: Coronary guide catheters provide a stable pathway for delivering interventional devices during percutaneous coronary procedures.

Coronary balloon catheter: A catheter with an inflatable balloon tip designed to dilate narrowed coronary arteries and restore blood flow during PCI.

Coronary IVL catheter: Coronary IVL catheter delivers sonic pressure waves to fracture calcified plaque in heavily calcified coronary lesions.

Understanding cardiac catheterization

Cardiac catheterization is an invasive diagnostic procedure commonly used to assess heart function. During the procedure, a thin coronary catheter is inserted into a blood vessel, typically in the arm or groin, and guided into the coronary arteries. This allows doctors to check for blockages, narrowing, or other abnormalities in the coronary arteries, helping to diagnose heart disease. Cardiac catheterization can also be used to treat coronary artery disease.

How coronary catheters support cardiac procedures?

Coronary catheters are specialized tools designed to navigate the coronary arteries with precision. They play a crucial role in both diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease. Their functions include:

Selective coronary angiography: Delivering contrast media to visualize coronary arteries under X-ray.

Balloon angioplasty: Delivering a balloon to dilate narrowed coronary arteries.

Stent delivery: Guiding and deploying stents to keep arteries open.

Pressure and flow measurement: In functional tests like FFR.

High-performance coronary catheters must provide excellent trackability, torque response, and vessel selectivity, allowing interventional cardiologists to reach and treat even complex or tortuous lesions with confidence and control. At Shunmei, our coronary catheters are designed for exceptional maneuverability and clinical reliability, supporting successful outcomes in both routine and high-risk interventional cases.

How long does a coronary catheter stay in?

The coronary catheter used during a cardiac catheterization procedure typically stays in place for a short period of time, usually just for the duration of the procedure itself.
