| pubmed-article:9763396 | pubmed:abstractText | Published reports of controlled experiments designed to evaluate the performance of over-the-wire microcatheter systems are rare and have often been based on subjective impressions from small clinical series. This investigation was designed to compare the load forces required to propel state-of-the-art, hydrophilically coated microcatheters from each of four manufacturers through a standardized tortuous pathway constructed of polytetrafluoroethylene tubing. | lld:pubmed |
