Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) microcatheters and dual-lumen microcatheters are specialised devices used during catheter-based cardiovascular procedures, to access and treat blocked arteries. These devices, with their narrow diameters and flexible design, provide exceptional navigability through the intricate and narrow coronary arteries.
Microcatheters also allow operators to exchange different PCI wires without losing position, significantly increasing the efficiency of a case. Through their multifaceted role in support, navigation, and wire exchange, PCI microcatheters have become a cornerstone of modern interventional cardiology.
Braided, tapered tip microcatheter for the facilitated penetration of heavily calcified lesions.
Dual lumen microcatheter with stainless steel core, offering solutions for many cases.
Frontline microcatheter ideal for the navigation of tortuous vessels to facilitate wire exchange. Featuring an ultra low crossing profile and tapered tip.
Flexible and trackable microcatheter with low tip-profile and extended hydrophilic coating.
Without the encouragement and support from Vascular Perspectives, I’m not sure that we could have achieved the successful CTO service that we now have.

I have had the pleasure to work with various professionals from VP for over 15 years.
Over the years VP has distributed multiple interesting products related to the cathlab, mostly related to PCI. My interaction with VP started with the dedicated bifurcation stent Tryton and subsequently the ASAHI group of wires, Scorefl ex balloons, IVL balloons, Orbital atherectomy, guide extensions and vascular access closure devices.
All the kit promoted and distributed by VP have become mainstays in our routine and complex PCI.
More importantly over the last decade VP has developed a comprehensive educational portfolio especially in furthering the knowledge and spread of CTO PCI in UK and in AHP education.

I have enjoyed working closely with VP ever since we set up our CTO programme 10 years ago. They have been incredibly supportive from an educational and training perspective not just for the operators but also Cath Lab staff in general.
