Neuro-Interventional Diagnosis and Treatment Using the Right Transradial Approach in Patients with Aberrant Right Subclavian Artery.

OBJECTIVE

To assess the effectiveness and safety of neurological interventions using the right transradial approach (R-TRA) in patients with aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA).

METHODS

We retrospectively analyzed cases that underwent cerebral angiography and interventions at Huangpi District People's Hospital from January 2023 to July 2023. Out of 335 cases, 5 patients with ARSA were identified.

RESULTS

All 5 cases underwent diagnostic cerebral angiography via R-TRA. Two of the patients received interventions via R-TRA: 1 underwent right internal carotid artery balloon dilation angioplasty, while another underwent left vertebral artery stenting. No surgery-related complications were observed during these procedures.

CONCLUSIONS

R-TRA proves to be a safe and effective option for neuro-interventional surgery in patients with ARSA.
