ABSTRACT
Purpose@#To evaluate the safety and efficacy of long vascular sheaths for transfemoral neuroendovascular procedures in children. @*Materials and Methods@#A retrospective evaluation of transfemoral neuroendovascular procedures in children 15 kg subcohorts. There were no aorto-femoro-iliac or limb-ischemic complications. @*Conclusion@#Long vascular sheaths without short femoral sheaths can be safely used for pediatric neuroendovascular procedures as they effectively increase inner diameter access without increasing the outer sheath diameter. This property increases the range of devices used and intracranial techniques that can be safely performed without arterial compromise, thus increasing the repertoire of the neurointerventionist.
