Abstract We report our experience in stent‐supported angioplasty of the left internal carotid artery in patients with anomalous origin of the left common carotid, the so‐called bovine arch, in which the right brachiocephalic and left carotid share a common trunk from the aortic arch. The occurrence of the anatomic variant is discussed, and techniques of femoral, brachial, and radial approaches are described. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2003;60:566–569. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
