Open retrograde carotid artery stenting with balloon guiding catheter under local anesthesia for common carotid artery origin stenosis: illustrative case

Key Points

• This research investigates a new technique for treating stenosis at the origin of the common carotid artery.
• Utilized open retrograde carotid artery stenting
• Performed under local anesthesia
• Incorporated a sheathless balloon guiding catheter for improved access
• Enabled reliable distal protection
• Successfully performed the procedure with minimal exposure
• Achieved reliable distal protection
• Secured hemostasis effectively using the technique
