Transradial unprotected left main coronary artery stenting in an octogenarian with severe angina and Leriche syndrome

Am J Geriatr Cardiol. 2006 Jul-Aug;15(4):235-8. doi: 10.1111/j.1076-7460.2006.04796.x.

Abstract

Coronary artery disease in octogenarians is often diffuse and difficult to manage due to concomitant peripheral vascular disease. The authors describe a case in which an unprotected left main coronary artery was successfully treated by transradial stenting in a patient with severe angina and Leriche syndrome.
