Abstract
In percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty we use the following technique. On the contralateral side a 7-F pigtail catheter is introduced. The midstream is made. On the ipsilateral side a cobra is usually introduced, but sometimes a sidewinder. We try to pass the stenosis first with a J-wire with a very small J, then we try a J-wire with a withdrawn movable core, then a small pediatric J-guide-wire, which is changed for a bigger wire when the cobra has passed the stenosis. Finally, we try a straight wire with a flexible tip.
