The angle of the origin of the carotid artery is too acute. 3. Too much friction exists between the guidewire and the internal surface of the catheter. 4. The curve of the distal end of the catheter prevents further advancement. To solve the problem of a weak platform created by a floppy wire mechanism 1 the wire has to be advanced further so the stiff segment is in the proper area. If the wire is not strong enough it has to be exchanged to a stiffer To solve the problem of acute angle at the origin of the artery mechanism 2 a stiff wire will straighten out the angle and help to advance the wire. To solve the problem created by mechanism 3 due to excessive friction between the wire and the internal surface of the catheter the catheter should be advanced and the guidewire withdrawn Carotid Artery Interventions 457 Figure 22-15 Diagram showing how to reduce the friction between the wire and the internal surface of the catheter. A The catheter tip is at the orifice of the left CCA and the tip of the wire is in the left ICA. B The catheter is advanced while the wire is withdrawn. Adapted from Gerlock AJ Mirfakhraee M.
