Establishing sheath access for carotid interventions: tips and pitfalls

Nicolas Nelken et al. Perspect Vasc Surg Endovasc Ther. 2005 Jun.

Abstract

Carotid angioplasty and stenting requires delivery of therapy through a sheath rather than open vascular access. Safe and successful sheath delivery facilitates the carotid angioplasty and stenting procedure and depends upon an ability to assess the aortic arch, catheterize its branches, perform remote access guidewire-catheter manipulation, and place a sheath.
