Although the Extra Back\u2011Up (EBU) catheter is typically used for left coronary interventions, it may have a selective role in RCA PCI, particularly in complex anatomies or as a bailout after failure of standard guides.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We performed a single\u2010center, retrospective analysis of two cohorts of RCA PCI procedures. The EBU group included 60 RCA PCI procedures performed between 2019 and 2023 where the EBU catheter was used selectively for complex anatomy or after standard catheter failure. The control group comprised 200 consecutive RCA PCI procedues performed in 2023 using standard guide catheters. Primary outcome was catheter success. Secondary outcomes encompassed procedural efficiency and safety endpoints.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Catheter success rates did not differ significantly between EBU and standard groups (93.3% vs. 94.5%;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f\u2009=\u2009\u202f0.729), despite a markedly higher prevalence of chronic total occlusions in the EBU cohort (48.3% vs. 15.0%;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f\u2009&lt;\u2009\u202f0.001).
