β¦ Synopsis
We report on a patient with pulseless disease (Takayasu's arteritis) in whom access to the central circulation by extremity arterial cannulation was not possible due to absent pulses in all four limbs. The transseptal approach was used for aortography, bilateral selective carotid angiography, and successful elective stent deployment in the right common carotid artery. Cathet.

The objective was to assess the arterial wall response to temporary stenting with a removable nitinol stent in comparison with permanent stenting and balloon injury at 28 days in the rabbit carotid artery. Restenosis remains an important limiting factor after the implantation of permanent metallic s
Carotid angioplasty and stenting to treat extracranial carotid stenosis is an alternative (as yet not widely accepted) to high-risk surgery, but its safety and efficacy are little known, especially in elderly patients. We reviewed our 3-year experience of treating 100 elderly patients (> 65 years ol
