Surgical brachial artery access provides a viable option for complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) when standard arterial sites are unavailable. This hybrid approach enables large-bore PCI in challenging cases, expanding treatment possibilities.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Vascular Surgery
- Interventional Cardiology
Background:
- Securing arterial access for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is challenging when radial and femoral arteries are unusable.
- This is particularly critical for patients needing complete revascularization before major surgery.
- Previous reports suggest hybrid surgical-percutaneous access to axillary or carotid arteries can be safe and effective.
