A modified technique using a JL 3.5 7F guiding catheter and a long J-tipped wire successfully facilitated crossing a difficult bicuspid aortic valve during TAVR.
Xu et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Severe aortic valve stenosis (n=1). JL 3.5 7F guiding catheter and 260 cm J-tipped wire vs. AL 2.0 6F catheter with or without snare assistance was evaluated on Successful crossing of the aortic valve. Using a JL 3.5 7F guiding catheter and a 260 cm J-tipped wire successfully facilitated crossing a severely calcified bicuspid aortic valve in 87 seconds after standard methods failed.
