Abstract As capabilities for endovascular treatment of intracranial vascular pathologies continue to expand, the need for access to the distal internal carotid artery with rigid support catheter systems continues to increase. One of the dominant factors limiting this access is patient anatomy, specifically vessel tortuosity. Increased tortuosity of the carotid siphon is a frequently encountered anatomic variant and may complicate endovascular procedures in adults and children.1,2 Failed attempts to navigate the carotid siphon with a distal access catheter carry a risk of vessel injury and treatment failure. For this reason, techniques that aid in supporting safe advancement of a distal access catheter across a tortuous carotid siphon are essential.3,4 In this video, we demonstrate 2 ways in which this may be accomplished. The first technique uses a larger diameter microcatheter, such as the AXS Offset catheter (Stryker, Kalamazoo, Michigan), to increase support for the distal access catheter, while the second uses a buddy wire technique to accomplish this increased support. Both of these techniques can help increase the safety of navigating a tortuous carotid siphon and increase the likelihood of successful treatment.  The procedures shown were performed with the informed consent of the patients.

Background Attenuation of velocity pulsatility along the internal carotid artery (ICA) is deemed necessary to protect the microvasculature of the brain. The role of the carotid siphon within the whole ICA trajectory in pulsatility attenuation is still poorly understood. This study aims to assess arterial variances in velocity pulsatility and distensibility over the whole ICA trajectory, including effects of age and sex. Methods and Results We assessed arterial velocity pulsatility and distensibility using flow‐sensitized 2‐dimensional phase‐contrast 3.0 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging in 118 healthy participants. Velocity pulsatility index (vPI=(V max −V min )/V mean ) and arterial distensibility defined as area pulsatility index (A max −A min )/A mean ) were calculated at C1, C3, and C7 segments of the ICA. vPI increased between C1 and C3 (0.85±0.13 versus 0.93±0.13, P <0.001 for averaged right+left ICA) and decreased between C3 and C7 (0.93±0.13 versus 0.84±0.13, P <0.001) with overall no effect (C1–C7). Conversely, the area pulsatility index decreased between C1 and C3 (0.18±0.06 versus 0.14±0.04, P <0.001) and increased between C3 and C7 (0.14±0.04 versus 0.31±0.09, P <0.001). vPI in men is higher than in women and increases with age ( P <0.015). vPI over the carotid siphon declined with age but remained stable over the whole ICA trajectory. Conclusions Along the whole ICA trajectory, vPI increased from extracranial C1 up to the carotid siphon C3 with overall no effect on vPI between extracranial C1 and intracranial C7 segments. This suggests that the bony carotid canal locally limits the arterial distensibility of the ICA, increasing the vPI at C3 which is consequently decreased again over the carotid siphon. In addition, vPI in men is higher and increases with age.
