Technical aspects of venous stenting in high-grade stenoses using a long guidewire between dual venous access sites

Eur Radiol. 2000;10(1):167-9. doi: 10.1007/s003300050027.

Abstract

We describe the technical benefits of the dual-access technique for venous stenting in high-grade stenosis. Stents were implanted successfully with this technique in all patients, although the preceding transfemoral interventions had failed. The dual-access technique is useful to facilitate the intervention when the stenoses are too severe to place the stent through just a single access point.
