Leash your guiding catheter: or how to obtain a stable catheter position for crossover iliac embolization procedures.
We present a safe and quick technique for crossover embolization procedures of the internal iliac artery with high-profile guiding catheter systems, after a pull-through maneuver with establishment of a crossover catheter-snare system. The attached snare is used to stabilize and direct the guiding catheter.
