The 'Trawl Fishing' Technique: A Quick Engagement of the Left Common Carotid Artery With the Simmons Catheter During Carotid Artery Stenting From the Right Radial Approach

摘要
Background: Transradial approach for carotid artery stenting (TRCAS) is an established technique in specific anatomies potentially associated with high periprocedural event rate from femoral catheterization. The engagement of left common carotid artery originating from the aortic arch is the most challenging scenario requiring specific catheters and techniques.Methods: Among 542 consecutive TRCAS 66 had left, non-bovine carotid stenosis as the target vessel. We retro-spectively compared the feasibility, safety, efficacy, fluoroscopy time and radiation exposure of two different techniques, the standard (ST) and the 'trawl-fishing' (TFT), to engage the LCCA with the 5F, 125 cm-long Simmons-2 catheter.Results: The ST was initially used in 20 patients with a technical success of 85 % (17/20). In the following 46 patients, the TFT was successfully tested first as bailout after ST failure in 12 cases and as first option in the remaining 34 patients. Full technical success was obtained in all patients at the first attempt. No MACCEs or vascular complications occurred in all patients. Fluoroscopy time and radiation exposure were significantly lower with the TFT vs. ST (p < 0.001).Conclusions: TFT represents a definite improvement in the technique of LCCA engagement during TRCAS.
