<;P>;PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a guiding catheter in a new structure, capable of guiding a catheter for treatment by getting closer to a treatment part, reducing the number of proximal end side devices, and thereby shortening a catheter length. <;P>;SOLUTION: The monorail type catheter 14 to be inserted to a guiding catheter 16 includes: an insertion tube 24 projected from the distal end side opening 64 of the guiding catheter 16 to insert the catheter 18 for treatment; and a wire 26 extended from the proximal end side of the insertion tube 24 and projected from the proximal end side opening 65 of the guiding catheter 16. An extension part 44 to be extended when predetermined tensile force is exerted is provided on the transmission route of the operation force of the monorail type catheter 14. <;P>;COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
