Successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) starts with a coronary guidewire that possesses specific characteristics designed to support advancement through various coronary vasculature anatomies. These wires can be grouped into four major categories based on their construction: stainless steel, hybrid, plastic, and niche. Steel guidewires can be further subdivided based on performance… View more
