Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Synchro-2 microwire and SL-10 microcatheter passed through the ascending cervical artery and reached the left vertebral ostium and then to the left subclavian artery (black arrow), using Synchro-2 wire as a marker, a PT-2 microwire (0.014 in×300 cm) successfully found the true lumen of the left VA (white arrow). (B) Filling defect found at the origin of left VA (white arrow). (C) Angiography after the bare-metal stent (white arrow) planted. (D) Follow-up at 6 months, CT angiography (CTA) showed no restenosis in the stent.
Article Snippet: Using a 0.014-in wire as a marker, we switched to a PT-2 microguide wire (0.014 in×300 cm, Boston Scientific, USA) for a more aggressive approach ( ).
