A 90-year-old male presented with symptomatic severe stenosis of an anomalous left carotid artery originating from the brachicephalic trunk. A previous attempt at selective cannulation of the left carotid artery was unsuccessful using a transfemoral approach. We performed successful carotid artery angioplasty and stenting using a right radial artery approach.
