Subselective coronary access guide catheters are described for use with the ProbeTM balloon on a wire coronary dilatation device. These access catheters provide the following advantages over the “naked” ProbeTM: (1) Guide catheter stabilization, (2) Lesion access, (3) Lesion visualization, (4) Lesion crossing, and (5) Lesion protection. The Probe/access catheter system was used in 51 patients on 132 lesions (average 2.6 lesions/patient; range 1–8 lesions/patient) of which 116 (88%) were dilated successfully. Failures tended to be in total occlusions or in eccentric subtotal occlusions that could not be crossed with the ProbeTM tip wire. No patient required emergency coronary bypass. One patient sustained a small myocardial infarction within 24 hours of the procedure. One patient developed hemopericardium after rupture of a small branch coronary artery. One patient died from intracerebral bleeding due to thrombolytic and anticoagulant therapy. The ProbeTM access catheter system has several advantages over the ProbeTM device alone, and future developments can be expected to extend these benefits. (J Inter‐ven Cardiol 1989:2:1)
