Abstract
Method of performing one or more procedures within a patient's vasculature using a rigidizing device. The rigidizing device may be inserted through the patient's vasculature in a flexible configuration to a target region, and rigidized to form a stable base from which one or more procedures may be performed. Examples of procedures that may be performed include removing or bypassing an occlusion, placing a stent, mitral valve repair, access and/or treatment of chronic total occlusions, etc.
