First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for treating a carotid artery, comprising:
- an arterial access device wherein the access device includes a distal sheath adapted to be transcervically introduced into a carotid artery, the arterial access device further including a proximal extension having a distal end, a proximal end, and a lumen therebetween, wherein the distal end of the proximal extension is connected to a proximal end of the distal sheath at a junction so that the lumens of each are contiguous;
an interventional catheter adapted for transcervical insertion into the carotid artery via the arterial access device, wherein the interventional catheter is adapted to deploy a stent.
