Background: Description of the technique of the transbrachial catheter diagnostics, retrospective evaluation of the technical success rate and the complications.
Patients And Methods: In a period of 8 years the transbrachial approach was used in 2555 patients, 1734 men and 821 women with an average age of 62.9 years. The investigation was done with outpatients in approximately 90% of the cases. Usually, the preferred arm was not punctured. For the diagnostics F4 and F5-catheter sheaths and selective catheter and/or plain catheters were used.
Results: 12 times (0.47%) the investigation did not succeed technically. The image quality of the vascular representations was diagnostically sufficient. The total complication rate amounted to 0.47%. The following complications appeared: four dissections in the site of puncture, one embolism into arteries at the forearm, three transitory ischemic attacks, four haematoma at the site of puncture.
Conclusions: The transbrachial catheter diagnostics is a little invasive, efficient and low-risk method, which is practicable in out-patients.

Objective: In cases of severe atherosclerosis or tortuous arteries, inserting the guiding sheath into the target vessel is challenging. Here, we present the turn-over technique for inserting and stabilizing the guiding sheath without straightening it during carotid artery stenting (CAS).
Case Presentation: Two patients with severe left internal carotid artery stenosis underwent CAS via the trans-brachial approach.

Acute limb ischaemia (ALI) is of great clinical importance due to its consequent serious complications and high comorbidity and mortality rates. The purpose of this study was to compare the acute success and complication rates of CDT performed via transradial, transbrachial, and transfemoral access sites in patients with acute lower limb vascular occlusion and to investigate the 1-year outcomes of CDT and MT for ALI. Between 2008 and 2019, 84 consecutive patients with ALI were treated with CDT in a large community hospital.

Study Design: Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) via the transbrachial approach (TBA) is a very rare option used in cases of patients with aortic pathologies and acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to the insufficient evidence in the literature, the difficulty from a technical point of view and the result of this technique influenced by the complications that frequently accompany it.
Background: Only a few cases of patients with aortic pathologies and acute ischemic stroke where MT via TBA were reported in the literature, and its application in the emergency management of AIS has still not been dealt with in detail.
Objectives: Out of a need to clarify and clearly emphasize the effectiveness of this approach in emergency MT via TBA in patients with AIS and aortic pathologies, this literature review and case report has the following objectives: the first one is the presentation of an emergency MT via transbrachial approach performed in a 44-year-old patient with AIS and diagnosed aortic coarctation during transfemural approach (TFA), with successful reperfusion in our department and the second one is to review the cases reports of patients with different aortic pathologies and AIS reperfusion therapy performed by MT via TBA from the literature.
Percutaneous endovascular treatment of peripheral vascular disease with small-caliber short sheaths may lead to device removal difficulties. A 50-year-old woman on hemodialysis underwent endovascular intervention for right common femoral artery stenosis, via the right brachial artery. A 4-Fr short sheath was used for the procedure owing to a previous hematoma at the puncture site.

Introduction: Aortoiliac arterial disease is a chronic progressive disease which is characterized by steno-occlusive changes in the aorta and iliac arteries. The gold standard for the treatment of patients with the advanced stage of the disease is aorto-bifemoral reconstruction. Patients with circumferential juxtarenal calcifications of the aorta bear a high risk of intraoperative complications, due to difficult cross-clamping in such zones.
