Abstract
We report on a patient with pulseless disease (Takayasu's arteritis) i n whom access to the central circulation by extremity arterial cannula tion was not possible due to absent pulses in all four limbs. The tran sseptal approach was used for aortography, bilateral selective carotid angiography, and successful elective stent deployment in the right co mmon carotid artery. (C) 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
