Purpose: The worst complication during cannulation of the contralateral gate during complex endovascular aortic repair is deployment of the limb extension behind the main graft body.
Case Report: A patient with a 5.7 cm juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm was taken to the operating room for fenestrated endovascular aortic repair and iliac branch device.

Background: Crossing of the interatrial septum (IAS) with the Edwards Sapien-3 transcatheter heart valve (THV) may fail, despite preparatory balloon septostomy. A planned buddy guidewire placed in the left ventricle may help facilitate crossing of the IAS and mitral bioprosthesis with the THV.
Methods: A retrospective study of 12 consecutive patients undergoing transseptal, mitral valve-in-valve or valve-in-ring procedures using the Edwards Sapien-3 THV since 2018 with a planned buddy-wire technique.

We herein present clinical images illustrating a transcatheter aortic valve implantation within an extremely calcified aortic valve, which posed considerable difficulty in crossing the aortic annulus. To gain maximum support, we used 2 buddy wires to allow a balloon predilation and then a successful crossing of the transcatheter heart valve. This technique provides additional support for those performing this procedure and may be included in the armamentarium of transcatheter aortic valve specialists.

Objective: To report our early experience in using the steerable 'Columbus' guidewire, also known as 'Drivewire' in the USA, and its potential applications in neurovascular interventions.
Methods: Neurointerventions in 36 patients (20 female, 16 male) using the steerable Columbus guidewire were recorded from August 2019 to December 2020 and included a variety of neurovascular procedures: Treatment of aneurysms (n=17), thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke (n=12), and others (n=7), such as treatment of stenosis and embolization procedures. Immediate follow-up with digital subtraction angiography and tracking of each patient's clinical outcome was performed.
