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.One patient who had treatment on the right side to treat 58% carotid stenosis with a type 3 aortic arch experienced a thromboembolic event due to kinking of the guiding catheter.The common carotid artery (cca) takeoff angle is reported as 30 degrees.No new neurological deficits were observed as a result of this event.
