Figure Lengend Snippet: Recanalization of the LSPV. In this video, the recanalization process of the LSPV is demonstrated. Initially, a 0.018" V—18 control wire (Boston Scientific) is introduced. Under fluoroscopic guidance, with the support of a 5F multipurpose catheter, the wire is carefully advanced toward the occluded segment of the LSPV. As the wire progresses, it can be seen gradually navigating through the occluded area. The 5F multipurpose catheter plays a crucial role in maintaining the position of the wire within the lumen, ensuring stable advancement. This process is meticulous, with the operator closely monitoring the position of the wire on the fluoroscopic screen to avoid any potential damage to the vessel wall.
