0.010-inch Guidewire in Slender Intervention

0.0010-in. guidewire, so called “ten wire” is a guide-wire whose diameter is 0.010-in. throughout. Historically speaking, 0.014-in. guidewires have been used most commonly. However, it may be about time to reconsider if the diameter of guidewires needs to be 0.014-in. since devices of PCI such as guidewires, balloons, stents, etc. are getting more and more sophisticated as medical technology advances.
