Abstract:
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.
