Endovascular correction of «in-stent restenosis» of the common carotid artery by radial access in a patient with infrarenal aortic occlusion (case report)

Introduction. In world practice, the common femoral artery is considered the traditional access for endovascular treatment of brachiocephalic arteries. Case report. The possibility of radial access for endovascular treatment of common carotid artery «in-stent restenosis» in a patient with occlusion of infrarenal abdominal aorta and the only functioning internal carotid artery on the ipsilateral side was demonstrated. Conclusion. This experience of correcting the common carotid artery lesion using radial access is only a single clinical observation and cannot be interpreted as a universal algorithm.
