Wires, Sheaths, and Catheters

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Endovascular procedures include vessel access, obtaining diagnostic images, navigating and crossing the lesion, treating the lesion, and vessel closure. To accomplish these tasks, the operator needs to have a continuous platform between the vascular access site and the true lumen of the vessel distal to the lesion. Devices used to establish that platform are guidewires, catheters, guiding catheters, and sheaths.
