Endovascular Recanalization of Aortic Isthmus Atresia with an "Electrified Wire Technique".

The electrified wire technique offers an off-the shelf option to modify standard guidewires for the use with radiofrequency to cross a complete aortic isthmus occlusion after failed conventional attempts. This new technique may be applied also in other situations like dissection flap fenestration, transcaval access and similar.
