Improved stability of steerable sheath access by femoro-femoral crossover wire in branched stent graft repair of complex thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysms

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to describe a technique to catheterize antegrade branches of a branched aortic endograft by using a steerable sheath stabilized by a through-and-through wire via a femoral access.
