Case reports demonstrate successful innominate artery stenting using upper-extremity access, indicating a viable alternative.
Objective: Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting (PTAS) have been reported as a useful endovascular intervention for innominate artery stenosis (IAS); however, reports of treatment completed exclusively via an upper-extremity approach are limited. Here, we report 2 cases of IAS in which transfemoral access was not feasible and were successfully treated with PTAS via upper-extremity access.
