Multi-vessel disease including the brachiocephalic artery remains a relatively rare finding in atherosclerotic disease when compared to stenosis of other major vasculature. Its management presents many difficulties. Endovascular intervention is a highly preferred choice of therapy in these patients although it is dependent on operator experience. We present a case of left common carotid and brachiocephalic arterial stenosis in a patient who presented with neurological alterations that was treated with endovascular stenting. Technical difficulty was encountered during intervention but was successful.
与其他主要血管系统的狭窄相比,包括头臂动脉在内的多支血管病变在动脉粥样硬化疾病中仍然是相对罕见的发现。其治疗存在许多困难。血管内介入治疗是这些患者高度首选的治疗方法,尽管它依赖于术者的经验。我们报告一例左颈总动脉和头臂动脉狭窄患者,该患者出现神经功能改变,接受了血管内支架置入治疗。介入治疗过程中遇到了技术困难,但最终成功完成。
