Event Description
A transbrachial cas technique with proximal protection by sheathless navigation of a 9-f balloon-guiding catheter with an outer diameter equivalent to a 7-f sheath was performed in 8 consecutive patients among 39 patients who underwent cas from april 2016 to june 2017.Medtronic devices such as carotid guardwire and spider fx were used during the procedure.Technical success was accomplished in all patients.For a patient who received treatment for a right side carotid stenosis which exhibited 63% stenosis with a type 3 aortic arch, a pseudoaneurysm at the access site was reported.The common carotid artery (cca) takeoff angle is reported as 45 degrees.This required ultrasound-guided compression.
