Angioplasty of the Innominate Artery in 89 Patients: Experience over 19 Years

Abstract: Angioplasty of the innominate artery has been proven to be safe and effective on a large series of patients. For innominate artery stenosis and short occlusion, PTA should be the treatment of choice.

“…7 Angioplasty and stenting are interesting alternatives to high-risk open surgery in IA disease. Periprocedural stroke rates may be as low as 0% 8 or 1.1%, 9 and endovascular treatment seems to be an overall safe treatment for IA stenosis. This apparent superiority of percutaneous treatment is in agreement with the findings of nonsystematic reviews of patients with miscellaneous supraaortic lesions.…”

“…16,17) Various protection methods have been reported. These include dual protection from the brachial side (as was employed in this case); dual protection from the femoral side; no protection of VA based on the prediction that antegrade blood flow in the VA will not reestablish for some time following resolution of innominate artery stenosis when subclavian steal was apparent preoperatively; and a distal retrograde approach by entering the CCA with surgical exposure and direct clamping of the CCA.…”

“…A further evolution in the treatment of atherosclerotic lesions of the SATs occurred in the 1980s as percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) techniques were applied to these lesions. Initially these lesions were treated with PTA alone [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13], but subsequent studies have reported an improvement in these initial results when stenting implantation was associated to balloon angioplasty [11,[14][15][16][17]. Recent reports, with short and midterm results, suggest that percutaneous treatment of the innominate arteries can be performed with relatively safety and expectations of satisfactory mid-term success [6,[9][10][11][12]18,19].…”
