Selection of Catheters Used for Diagnostic Angiography

Left and Right Judkins Catheters

• Constructed from polyethylene or polyurethane with a fine wire braid within the wall to allow advancement and directional control and to prevent kinking.
• The left Judkins catheter: This catheter is preshaped to allow entry into the left coronary ostium from the femoral approach with minimal catheter manipulation.
  • A preformed left Judkins catheter can also be used from the left brachial or radial artery, but a catheter with 0.5 cm less curvature than required for the femoral approach is generally better suited for coronary cannulation.
• The right Judkins catheter: This catheter is shaped to permit entry into the right coronary artery (RCA) with a small amount of rotational catheter manipulation from any vascular approach.
