Abstract:
Objective To discuss the safety and effectiveness of carotid artery stenting(CAS)via distal radial access(DRA).Methods According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,the patients with carotid artery stenosis,who were treated at the Ganzhou Municipal Hospital of China from July 2023 to June 2024,were collected for this study.CAS via DRA was performed by an experienced neurointerventional physician.Clinical baseline data,surgery-related materials and complications were recorded.Results Fourteen patients with a mean age of(65.4±7.8)years were enrolled in this study.Successful CAS via right DRA was accomplished in 13 patients(92.9%),and only in one patient(7.1%)the right femoral artery access was adopted instead of DRA with successful completion of CAS.After treatment,2 patients(14.3%)developed DRA-related minor hematoma,which disappeared spontaneously without any treatment.One patient(7.1%)developed transient cerebral ischemia and hypoxia during the operation,and the patient fully returned to normal after a brief time period.Neither DRA-related complications(such as postoperative numbness,pain,severe hematoma,and radial artery occlusion within 48 hours),nor a stroke or death occurred.Conclusion CAS via DRA is clinically safe and effective.DRA is an alternative approach for CAS.
