Background: Neuroendovascular procedures can be challenging due to severe angulation of the cervical and cranial vessels. Typical approaches for overcoming this tortuosity involve using multiple telescoping catheter systems to provide proximal support for therapeutic device delivery. Although this approach can be effective, it does have limitations.

Standard catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) and thrombus aspiration are considered potentially promising approaches for reopening the embolism-related pulmonary artery in patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) with high thrombotic burden and deteriorating hemodynamics, especially in those for whom systemic thrombolysis is contraindicated or has failed. However, the constrained accessibility of dedicated catheters has impeded the potential benefits of standard CDT in developing countries. The Guidezilla guide extension catheter (GEC) with a larger diameter and extended length is widely used in challenging coronary anatomy.
