Abstract (en)

[origin: CA2355665A1] Known devices for placing aortic endoprostheses comprise a guide wire by mea ns of which the opening of the main prosthesis already positioned in the aneury sm is sounded prior to insertion of the extension. This is a long and risky procedure. According to the device provided for in the invention a second guide wire for the extension is fixed to the first guide wire used for the main prosthesis in such a way that said second wire can be aligned with the first. In this way the opening for receiving the extension can be sounded fr om the interior both rapidly and safely.
