1. A guide sheath apparatus for performing a lower extremity endovascular procedure, the apparatus comprising:
an elongate member having a proximal and distal end and a lumen therebetween, the elongate member configured to be inserted into a lower extremity vasculature via a contralateral percutaneous access; and
a stabilization wire having a proximal end and a distal end partially integrated into and along a wall of the elongate member, wherein the stabilization wire bifurcates away from the elongate member at a transition point between the proximal end and the distal end of the elongate member, and the stabilization wire is configured to exit the lower extremity vasculature via an ipsilateral percutaneous access.
