Abstract
|
|
|
Surgical endarterectomy has been shown to be superior to medical treatment in the
management of severe carotid stenosis. Endarterectomy, although effective, does have
limitations, and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with stent may offer an
alternative modality of treatment. We report on a patient with severe coronary disease
that femoral arterial cannulation was not possible due to aorto-femoral shunt operation
and absent pulse. The transradial apprach was used for aortography, bilateral carotid
angiography and successful elective stent deployment in the left internal carotid artery.
The transradial approach might be useful alternative in case of problems wit femoral
approach.
