Key result
Right brachial PTCA offers a safe approach for intractable angina complicated by cholesterol embolization.
Why the study?
Does PTCA using the right brachial approach improve safety for the treatment of intractable angina in patients with evidence of cholesterol embolization?
Case Report (n=3)
Does PTCA using the right brachial approach improve safety for the treatment of intractable angina in patients with evidence of cholesterol embolization?
In patients with cholesterol embolization complicating femoral catheterization, PTCA via the right brachial approach is suggested as the safest method for treating intractable angina.

May support right brachial PTCA in cholesterol embolization; single case report leaves open need for prospective validation.
Oda et al. (1990) conducted a case report in Unstable angina with cholesterol embolization (n=3). PTCA using the right brachial approach was evaluated on Safety of treatment for intractable angina. PTCA using the right brachial approach was identified as the safest method for treating intractable angina in patients with evidence of cholesterol embolization.
