Summary
Transradial approach (TRA) for iliac artery interventions is uncommon. This study details successful bilateral common iliac ostial stenting using the simultaneous hugging stent (SHS) technique via TRA, offering benefits for complex cases.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Interventional Cardiology
- Endovascular Interventions
Background:
- Limited literature exists on transradial approach (TRA) for iliac artery interventions.
- Iliac artery ostial lesions present complex challenges for endovascular treatment.
Observation:
- Four successive cases of bilateral common iliac ostial stenting were performed.
- The simultaneous hugging stent (SHS) technique was utilized through bilateral TRA.
Findings:
- Successful bilateral common iliac ostial stenting was achieved using the SHS technique via TRA.
- The technique demonstrated feasibility and effectiveness in treating complex iliac artery substrate.
Implications:
- This approach offers the benefits of TRA, including reduced complications and improved patient comfort, for complex iliac interventions.
- The SHS technique via TRA may expand treatment options for bilateral common iliac artery disease.
