title: Transradial unprotected left main coronary artery stenting in an octogenarian with severe angina and Leriche syndrome.
abstract: Coronary artery disease in octogenarians is often diffuse and difficult to manage due to concomitant peripheral vascular disease. The authors describe a case in which an unprotected left main coronary artery was successfully treated by transradial stenting in a patient with severe angina and Leriche syndrome.
