The device of the invention comprises an "exchange catheter" (58) which may be advanced over the outer surface of the pre-positioned guide wire to provide support and shielding of the guide wire during the catheter exchange procedure. A guide wire exit aperture (74) formed in the "exchange catheter" permits the guide wire to exit the exchange catheter at a location whereby the operator may hold and manipulate the guide wire to maintain its desired position during the catheter exchange procedure.
