Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is usually performed through a femoral vascular access using 6–9 Fr guiding catheters. We investigated whether a systematic distal radial approach using 5 Fr guiding sheaths was a safe and effective alternative to transfemoral approach for CAS. From July 2020 to October 2022, two operators at our center systematically performed CAS using a 5 Fr distal radial approach in consecutive patients. The main endpoints of the study were procedural success via distal radial and via proximal or distal radial access. The learning curve was evaluated by comparing the first half of patients versus the second half of patients enrolled. Procedural data and 30-day clinical outcomes were collected. Fifty-one patients were prospectively enrolled. CAS was effectively performed via distal radial access in 45 patients (88%). Overall radial artery success was 92%. Distal radial CAS was successfully performed in 20 out of the first 25 patients enrolled (80%), and in 25 of the last 26 patients enrolled (96%; p = 0.07). Significantly less contrast was administered in the last 26 patients compared to the first 25 enrolled (110 (70, 140) mL vs. 120 (107, 150) mL; p = 0.045). Radial artery occlusion was reported in 1 patient (2%). Only 1 minor stroke (2%) was reported in-hospital and at 30-day follow-up. In conclusion, distal radial CAS using 5 Fr catheters was a safe procedure with a high success rate. The procedure had a relatively short learning curve in operators familiar with transfemoral CAS. |
