Figure Lengend Snippet: Sensor catheter made with a 4 French angiographic catheter with two electrodes (arrows) and leads provided by coaxial cable (arrowhead). The separate black linear mark is from a marking pen to aid in the alignment of the electrodes with the pre-formed curvature of the catheter, for consistent construction.

Article Snippet: Sensing catheters were created by attaching two 0.4 × 0.6 mm pieces of copper/nickel/gold contact pads as electrodes to a 4 French vertebral-shaped angiographic catheter (451-414 H0, Cordis, Santa Clara, CA) near the catheter tip, with leads of 42 gauge coaxial wire (Hitachi, Ashaway, RI) down the shaft of the catheter to a custom PCB adapter.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Type II endoleak embolization. a Contrast-enhanced CT in arterial phase shows the presence of a type II endoleak post EVAR (white arrows). b Transfemoral diagnostic DSA of the superior mesenteric artery shows hypertrophy of the Riolano arch. c Further diagnostic DSA performed by a coaxial microcatheter advanced in the Riolano arc confirms the endoleak opacification (white arrows) sustained by the inferior mesenteric artery stump. d Microcatheter advancement into the aneurysmatic sac and Squid embolization. e Final angiographic control shows complete endoleak exclusion

Article Snippet: A selective catheterization with standard 4-French angiographic catheters, such as Simmons or Cobra (Cordis, Miami, FL, USA), of the target artery was performed.
