摘要

1 Introduction Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is the consequence of atherosclerosis in the arteries of carotid,vertebral,abdominal mesenteric,renal,and extremity arteries with a prevalence increasing with.Carotid Occlusive disease is one of the most common site for atherosclerosis development:Endoatherectomy and Carotid artery stenting (CAS) have been shown to achieve similar outcomes and costs[1,2] especially in high-risk patients as very often elderly patients with multiple atherosclerotic localizations are.The performance of supraaortic diagnostic and interventional procedures via the radial artey (RA) is growing all over the world thanks to lower risk of access site complications,lower chance to embolizing debries by touching the aortic arch,lower costs,and increased patient comfort compared to the traditional transfemoral approach (TEA).[3,4] The aim of this paper is to describe the potentiality the TRA can offer in the peripheral interventions of supra-aortic arteries in the elderly.
