Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Subclavian stenting can be extremely difficult in a hostile type II aortic arch (with acute angulation of the subclavian artery origin) or type III aortic arch. This case illustrates use of a low-profile system to gain through-and-through (flossing) access through the brachial artery to facilitate stenting via the femoral approach. This approach can be useful in patients with small brachial arteries where the risk of complication may be high if a standard vascular sheath was placed for stenting via the brachial approach. This technique also avoids the use of a surgical cut down.
