A round-tipped guidewire is then advanced through the lumen of the needle, and the needle is withdrawn.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 ...
A snare catheter is inserted using the Seldinger technique under fluoroscopic guidance. The snare wire is advanced under direct visualization and flowered open. The object being retrieved is captured within the loops of snare, and retrieved with the snare wire and catheter, being carried out of the body at the tip of the catheter.
Once the catheter is in the extraluminal space, a guidewire is advanced in a loop configuration which allows for a more rigid structure that can be used to traverse the subintimal dissection plane when compared to the free end of a straight guidewire.

Peel-off sheath was then inserted over the guidewire. Blood is aspirated from the catheter to confirm the position. Then, the free-end of the port catheter is inserted through the peel-off sheath. After the tip of the port catheter is confirmed at the aortocaval junction, the peel-off sheath is taken-off by peeling away with two hands.
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.
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 ...
