Case series evaluates safety and feasibility of transradial carotid artery stenting using an 8-French guide catheter, indicating potential for safer interventions.
Objective: The use of an 8-French (Fr) balloon guide catheter (BGC) for carotid artery stenting (CAS) using a transradial approach (TRA) has been limited by the small size of the radial artery (RA) and anatomical challenges, including difficulties with catheter navigation and concerns regarding device slippage. This study aimed to evaluate the technical feasibility and safety of TRA-CAS using an 8-Fr BGC.
