Zusammenfassung:Disclosed are intravascular devices for navigating tortuous vascular environments like the human brain. The disclosed guidewire includes a core wire, a first tube within which the distal section of the core is inserted, and a second tube within which the proximal section of the core is inserted. The first and second tubes have a substantially similar outer diameter such that the guidewire has a uniform outer diameter over its complete length for effective catheter tracking over the guidewire.
