1. A guide catheter kit comprising:
a guide catheter comprising,
a hollow tubular body extending along a longitudinal axis, said tubular body defining at least one internal lumen suitable for receiving at least one medical device, the tubular body further defining a proximal opening, a lateral opening for receiving a guidewire there through and a distal opening, said tubular body including a distal portion preformed in such a way as to assume a curved configuration with regard to said longitudinal axis, wherein at least said distal portion has a flattened shape which extends prevalently along a transverse axis, wherein the curvature of said distal portion is created around said transverse axis, and wherein said lateral opening is created through an external surface on an opposite side of the tubular body with regard to a direction of the curvature of said distal portion; an introducer sheath defining an internal lumen that extends between a proximal opening and a distal opening, wherein said guide catheter is sized to be inserted and to run within the internal lumen of said sheath; and a guide wire emerging from the lateral opening of the guide catheter and extending parallel and external to the distal portion of the guide catheter when the distal portion of the guide catheter and the guide wire are simultaneously contained in the internal lumen of the introducer sheath. |
