Abstract
Endovascular intervention has become the mainstay of treatment for subclavian artery stenosis in many centers, with high technical success and low complication rates.1,2 However, potential embolization during proximal subclavian artery intervention can lead to catastrophic posterior circulation ischemic complications.3-5 Although considered a rare complication, the presence of a contralateral hypoplastic vertebral artery with persisting anterograde vertebral blood flow on the affected side is likely to increase the risk of embolization.3 The use of embolic protection devices, such as filters and noncompliant balloons, has been previously described.3,6,7 However, there is still a risk of distal embolization and vessel injury with the use of these devices.7 We present a technical video of a patient in their 80s with left subclavian stenosis who underwent subclavian stent-assisted percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (SAPTA) using an anterograde-retrograde access technique with a dual-lumen compliant balloon catheter (Scepter XC; MicroVention, Aliso Viejo, California) placed at the proximal segment of the left vertebral artery. With this approach, the compliant balloon provides adequate protection while minimizing the risk of endothelial injury and distal embolization. Written informed consent was obtained for the procedure. Patient consent was waived because all health information was deidentified.
