Thanks a lot. You saved me today, stent was dislodged from balloon on wire. Couldn't enter a sheath. Snare was not available in cath. Rapidly checked your video and shared it out. One tip is that take a L shaped cut on catheter tip. Remove the flap to increase cross sectional area.

How to go from sheath till aorta, without over the wire

[@highriskpci5004]

Great question, you will need 0.018 wire to get the catheter over to the location if using a 6F catheter otherwise you can use 0.035 wire for larger catheter sizes. The back end of the wire should already be through the guide catheter that you are using as a snare.
