Abstract
Asymptomatic double aortic arches are a unique occurrence. An incidental finding of a double aortic arch in an elderly male was discovered during work up of a transient ischemic attack. The following case presentation details an effective treatment approach in cerebrovascular stenting in a patient with variant aortic arch anatomy. The initial diagnostic cerebral angiogram was performed via trans-femoral approach and was quite challenging. Faced with challenging anatomy, the radial artery approach is a viable option when navigating into the cerebrovascular anatomy for stenting when proximal variants such as a double aortic arch are identified.
