Twining wire technique for an approach through the graft-repaired type A aortic dissection with residual false lumen for cerebral thrombectomy: illustrative case.
Key Points
The aim is to describe the application of the twining wire technique for accessing the true lumen in aortic dissection cases.
Illustrative case of applying the twining wire technique.
Access achieved through a graft-repaired type A aortic dissection.
Cerebral thrombectomy conducted after achieving true lumen access.
Successful access to the true lumen through the twining wire technique.
Feasibility of the technique demonstrated in a case with residual false lumen.
Potential improvement in outcomes for thrombectomy procedures.
Abstract
The twining wire technique was useful to achieve access to the true lumen in a dissected aorta with a residual false lumen. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25993.
