Microcatheter is defined as a small diameter catheter that is used in minimally invasive procedures for delivering devices. Its small build makes it ideal for navigating complex vasculature within the human body. It is used for guidewire support, exchanges, to access distal anatomy, cross lesions, deliver therapeutic embolic, inject contrast media, and perform other procedures in complex endovascular procedures. Microcatheters are also commonly used in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
