Self-made steerable catheter to cross the aortic valve in severe aortic stenosis

15 Apr 2026

When standard catheters and wires repeatedly fail to cross a severely stenotic aortic valve, a simple modification of readily available equipment may provide a solution.

This step-by-step tutorial explains how to create and use a self-made steerable catheter system to facilitate valve crossing in complex TAVI anatomies.
