ABSTRACT
Radiation-induced stenosis of the carotid artery is considered a challenging entity for direct revascularization. We performed a carotid artery stenting for a radiation-induced stenosis using a transapical approach on an asymptomatic 63-year-old male patient. Transapical approach, which is often used for cardiac surgery, was not yet described for the endovascular treatment of carotid stenosis. The transapical approach could be an attractive alternative path for patients presenting significant supra-aortic trunks lesions and unfit for direct approach or peripheral access. This case reports the feasibility and the safety of carotid artery stenting using the transapical approach in well-trained teams.
