A rotating hemostasis valve with side-arm adapter is provided with each catheter. The rotating hemostasis valve is typically y shaped with a female luer lock and a manual hemostasis valve. The female port allows for aspiration and contrast injections while the hemostasis valve allows direct arterial access when using other devices such as guidewires and/or interventional devices.
