Zusammenfassung:Multi-vessel disease including the brachiocephalic artery remains a relatively rare finding in atherosclerotic disease when compared to stenosis of other major vasculature. Its management presents many difficulties. Endovascular intervention is a highly preferred choice of therapy in these patients although it is dependent on operator experience. We present a case of left common carotid and brachiocephalic arterial stenosis in a patient who presented with neurological alterations that was treated with endovascular stenting. Technical difficulty was encountered during intervention but was successful.
