Abstract
A new technique of transcatheter wiring of unresectable aortic aneurysm is described that provides simultaneous transcatheter occlusion of both common iliac arteries followed by axillofemoral bypass. The spring coil used for aortic aneurysm wiring was of our own making. The outer portion of a movable core stainless steel guidewire was bent in a coil shape and introduced into the aneurysm through a 7 French Teflon catheter via the right femoral artery. The same catheter was also used for coil embolus occlusion of both iliac arteries.
