Transradial retrograde percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with stenting of long segment occlusion of subclavian artery

Abstract

We report a case of retrograde percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with stenting to chronically occluded upper limb vessels in a young female with Takayasu arteritis. A self-expanding stent (Supera peripheral stent system - Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA, USA) was tracked retrogradely via ipsilateral radial access and the procedure was successful with good results. To our knowledge this is the first report of a Supera stent being tracked retrogradely through the radial artery. <Learning objective: This case demonstrates the feasibility of tracking and successful deployment of Supera stent transradially.>.

Keywords: Subclavian stenting; Supera; Takayasu arteritis; Transradial percutaneous transluminal angioplasty.
