Successful Femoral Vessel Puncture Facilitated by Using a J-Tipped Hydrophilic Guidewire in Pediatric Cardiac Catheterization

摘要

Vascular access is an important part of cardiac catheterization, but it is extremely difficult in some cases. We present two cases in which a J-tipped hydrophilic guidewire inserted from the contralateral vessel facilitated successful vascular access after initial access failure by conventional method using anatomical landmark.
