✦ Synopsis

We report on a woman with severe peripheral vascular disease with unstable angina, in which access to the central circulation was not possible from a peripheral route. The translumbar approach was used for coronary angiography and a successful angioplasty of the left circumflex artery. c 19% Wlley-Liss, Inc.
