Transcend wire

Manufactured by Boston Scientific

The Transcend wire is a medical device used in laboratory settings. It is a flexible, stainless-steel wire designed to facilitate the handling and manipulation of samples or specimens during various laboratory procedures. The core function of the Transcend wire is to provide a durable and versatile tool for researchers and laboratory technicians to work with their samples effectively.

Chemoembolization Technique for Liver Tumors

cTACE was performed according to our standard institutional protocol, and all procedures were performed by an interventional radiologist (XYZ) with 15 years of experience in hepatic interventions. With use of the Seldinger's technique, a 5-F vascular sheath was placed in the right common femoral artery over a 0.035-inch guide wire (Terumo Medical, Somerset, NJ). Under fluoroscopic guidance, a 5-F glide Simmons-1 catheter (Cordis, Miami, FL) was advanced into the aortic arch and then used to select the celiac axis. The catheter was advanced into the desired hepatic artery over the guide wire. Using a 3-F Renegade High-Flo catheter coaxially over a 0.014-inch Transcend wire (Boston Scientific, Natick, MA), selective catheterization was performed to achieve lobar or segmental chemoembolization. A solution containing 50 mg doxorubicin (Adriamycin; Pharmacia &Upjohn, Peapack, NJ), and 10 mg mitomycin C in a 1:1 mixture with Lipiodol (Lipiodol; Guerbet, Paris, France) was infused and followed by the infusion of gelatin-coated trisacryl microspheres (Embosphere particles; Biosphere Medical, Rockland, MA) until arterial inflow was retarded as seen on fluoroscopy.

Hepatic Tumor Angiography in Rabbits

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

A blunt dissection was performed in anesthetized rabbits to gain access to the right or left common femoral artery. A 3-French vascular sheath (Cook Medical) was placed and a 2-French microcatheter (JB1 catheter, Cook Medical) enabled manipulation into the celiac axis followed by a celiac artery angiogram to delineate hepatic blood supply. Using digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and cone-beam CT angiography (C-arm, Allura Clarity FD20 8.2, Philips), a region of hypervascular blush located in the left liver lobe was identified as the tumor. A steerable guide wire (0.014 in. Transcend wire, Boston Scientific) was used to selectively catheterize the tumor-feeding artery, and final positioning of the catheter was confirmed with DSA.

Hepatic cTACE Protocol for Liver Cancer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

cTACE was performed according to our standard institutional protocol, and all procedures were performed by an interventional radiologist (JFG) with 18 years of experience in hepatic interventions. With use of the Seldinger’s technique, a 5-F vascular sheath was placed in the right common femoral artery over a 0.035-inch guide wire (Bentson, Cook, Bloomington, IN). Under fluoroscopic guidance, a 5-F glide Simmons-1 catheter (Cordis, Miami, FL) was advanced and formed into the aortic arch and then used to select the celiac axis. A 3-F Renegade High-Flo catheter was coaxially advanced through the glide catheter over a 0.014-inch Transcend wire (Boston Scientific, Natick, MA), and manipulated to achieve lobar or segmental catheterization. An emulsion containing 50 mg doxorubicin (Adriamycin; Pharmacia &Upjohn, Peapack, NJ), and 10 mg mitomycin C in a 1:1 mixture with Lipiodol (Lipiodol; Guerbet, Paris, France) was infused and followed by the infusion of gelatin-coated trisacryl microspheres (Embosphere Microspheres; Biosphere Medical, Rockland, MA) until arterial inflow was substantially reduced as seen on fluoroscopy.

Conventional TACE for Hepatic Interventions

Conventional TACE was performed according to our standard institutional protocol and all procedures were performed by an interventional radiologist (XX) with 15 years of experience in hepatic interventions. With the Seldinger technique, a 5-F vascular sheath was placed in the right common femoral artery over a 0.035-inch guide wire (Terumo Medical, Somerset, NJ). Under fluoroscopic guidance, a 5-F glide Simmons-1 catheter (Cordis, Miami, FL) was advanced into the aortic arch and then used to select the celiac axis.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
