✦ Synopsis

Balloon aortlc dilatation is now a recognized therapy for aortic stenosis in children. Using retrograde approaches with either single or double balloons, successful dilatation can be readily achieved, but with little control of balloon position across the valve. We describe a femoral vein-femoral artery loop technique via a transeptal approach which facilitates antegrade crossing of the stenotic aortic valve and allows optimal balloon control and simultaneous pressure gradient recording during the procedure.

Endovascular techniques are now available for treatment of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) using various stent-graft systems. The delivery system of these device's call for large, 16 and 22 Fr sheaths, requiring open surgical femoral artery exposure to introduce and remove. We describe a
