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.

The Columbus steerable guidewire in neurointerventions: early clinical experience and applications.

J Neurointerv Surg

March 2022

Department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, Luzerner Kantonsspital Zentrumsspital, Luzern, Switzerland.

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.
