The use of certain large-caliber (ie, 7F to 9F) coronary guiding catheters for selected
neuroendovascular procedures is described in the context of surveying recently developed …

The slight modification of an existing catheter allows torque control and selective access to
tortuous brachiocephalic vessels, and avoids an additional arterial puncture when selective …

Inserting a guiding catheter into a tortuous artery for neurointerventional procedures can be
difficult. In our technique, the carotid artery is manually compressed to stabilize and/or …

Placement of a guiding catheter through a tortuous, narrowed, or intrinsically small vessel
may result in severe reduction or occlusion of blood flow. However, nonbraided guiding …

Treatment of complex cerebrovascular disorders, including intracranial aneurysms, carotid
cavernous sinus fistulas, vertebral fistulas, arteriovenous malformations, atherosclerosis of …

Not uncommonly, when cerebral angiography is performed via the femoral route, a long
flexible-tip guide wire may be introduced into the appropriate vessel, but because of …

Objective To describe our experience with very distal placement of the Neuron 6 F 0.053
inch inner luminal diameter guide catheter (Penumbra Inc, San Leandro, California, USA) …

Endovascular techniques are gaining wider acceptance in the treatment of intracranial
lesions. Tortuous vasculature is a common reason for failure to treat an intracranial lesion …

A new catheter suitable for selective angiography, embolization, and controlled infusion of
chemotherapeutic agents is described. The catheter is made from a composite construction …

Several catheters are suitable for diagnostic cerebral and spinal angiography (Fig. 1).
Angled taper and vertebral catheters are both excellent allpurpose diagnostic catheters …
