The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility, safety, and performance of a novel diagnostic catheter specifically designed for engaging both coronary arteries via the right transradial artery approach. A total of 160 patients were randomized between the standard Judkins (5F R4, L4; Cordis Corporation, Miami, FL) and the 5F Tiger II (Terumo Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) catheters. End points included the duration of various procedures and the assessments of angiographic image quality and catheter performance. The Tiger II was associated with a significantly shorter (40%) total procedure time (199.6+/-50.2 vs. 331.5+/-72.9 s, p=0.001) and a 33% shorter total fluoroscopic time (93.1+/-33.8 vs. 138.2+/-47.6 s, p=0.001) for diagnostic coronary angiography, compared with those with the Judkins catheter. There was no significant difference between the Tiger II and Judkins catheters for left coronary angiographic qualit...
