The efficacy of the novel “wall pierce” technique for common femoral access in endovascular therapy

Abstract

Key Clinical Message Under challenging common femoral artery access scenarios, the “wall PIERCE” technique, which utilizes a larger puncture needle to pierce the vessel wall along the guidewire, facilitates sheath insertion. This method proved successful in two cases without any complications, presenting a valuable addition to strategies for addressing challenging sheath insertion scenarios.
