Abstract
A device includes a medusa wire group with at least three separate wires slidably received in a vascular catheter. The multiple wires of the medusa wire group maximize the chances of at least one wire entering a target branch vessel during an attempt to achieve access. Entry into the branch vessel may then be gained by advancing the vascular catheter over the at least one wire that successfully entered the branch passageway.
