A round-tipped guidewire is then advanced through the lumen of the needle, and the needle is withdrawn. A sheath or blunt cannula can now be passed over the guidewire into the cavity or vessel. Alternatively, drainage tubes are passed over the guidewire (as in chest drains or nephrostomies). After passing a sheath or tube, the guidewire is ...
The drainage catheter is then removed over the guidewire and sheath is inserted into the ducts (7 to 8 French size). Contrast is then injected through the sheath to identify any stones or strictures. If a stricture is identified, put in biliary manipulation catheter with guidewire measuring 0.035 inches and commence balloon dilatation (with ...
Additional lumens allow the addition of a guidewire and injection of radio-opaque contrast. They can be broadly categorized as pull-type, push-type, or needle-knife. [1] Pull-type: pull-type sphincterotomes consist of a steel cutting wire within a Teflon catheter. The wire exits the catheter approximately 3 cm before its distal end and re ...
Once the catheter is in the hepatic vein, a wedge pressure is obtained to calculate the pressure gradient in the liver. Following this, carbon dioxide is injected to locate the portal vein. Then, a special needle known as a Colapinto is advanced through the liver parenchyma to connect the hepatic vein to the large portal vein , near the center ...
Used for example in steady advancement of the catheter on a guidewire previously inserted into the renal pelvis through a thin needle. D. Both obturator and puncture needle retracted, when the catheter is in the renal pelvis. E. Locking string is pulled (bottom center) and then wrapped and attach to the superficial end of the catheter.
A vascular snare is an endovascular device that is used to remove foreign bodies from inside arteries and veins.The snare consists of several radiopaque loops of wire inside a catheter, which when extended flower out, and which collapse when withdrawn into the catheter.

A ureteric balloon catheter is a balloon catheter intended for treating strictures of the ureter. In fact it is a double J stent on which a balloon is mounted. It is connected to a delivery device (pusher) to introduce it from the bladder into the ureter. The system comprises a non-return valve device, and a pusher with a stylet and two ports.
