Looping wire technique TEVAR.
A. Initial aortogram showing Type B Aortic dissection with large entry tear and large false lumen. The position of the pigtail at the descending aorta is clearly in the false lumen and went to the true lumen through the entry tear distal to the left subclavian artery. During the aortogram, the pigtail was pushed to the false lumen. B. Terumo exchange wire was looped from descending aortic false lumen to the descending aortic true lumen through the entry tear. C. The tip of the exchange wire cross path with the proximal part of the wire at the abdominal aorta, presumably at the level of exit tear near the SMA. Another wire was then advance with MP catheter following the track of the looped wire. D. Wire configuration after the second wire can be successfully advanced into the ascending aorta through the true lumen. E. Aortogram after the second wire can be advanced to the ascending aorta through the true lumen. Aortogram clearly showed the position of the looped wire and the catheter in the true lumen (arrows), while the proximal part of the wire was in the false lumen (arrowheads). F. Final aortogram after stent graft implantation showing complete exclusion of the false lumen.
