Why Master the Crossover Technique

The crossover technique is a fundamental approach in peripheral intervention, allowing physicians to access target lesions via the contralateral femoral artery. Mastering this approach is often considered essential to mastering peripheral intervention, as its safe and efficient execution directly impacts procedural success.

 

The crossover technique is especially challenging in cases with severely tortuous iliac bifurcations, where selecting the appropriate devices—such as changing angiographic catheter tips or using balloons— at the optimal time is crucial to ensuring safe and time-efficient procedures.
