Abstract
Percutaneous axillary artery access is a viable strategy to facilitate complex endovascular interventions. This technique avoids the need for brachial or axillary artery exposure and allows larger sheath sizes because of the caliber of the axillary artery. There were no major neurologic or ischemic complications. This technique is a relatively safe and practical alternative to approaches involving exclusively femoral and brachial access.
