A system for placing stents in a carotid artery, the system comprising: a sheath catheter comprising a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the sheath catheter is configured to be inserted percutaneously and guided through a femoral artery and a descending thoracic aorta to an aortic arch; a snare wire configured to be inserted through the sheath catheter and extended to the aortic arch with a snare loop; a stabilization wire configured to be inserted through a radial artery and guided through a subclavian artery to the aortic arch, wherein the stabilization wire is configured to be captured by the snare loop and pulled into the sheath catheter and out of the proximal end of the sheath catheter; a reverse curve catheter comprising an atraumatic tip and configured to be inserted Into the sheath catheter in parallel with the stabilization wire; a stiff wire configured to be inserted into the reverse catheter to a procedural site in the carotid artery, wherein the reverse curve catheter is removed, leaving the stiff wire and the stabilization wire at the procedural site in the carotid artery, a bifurcated catheter comprising a first bifurcation and a second bifurcation, wherein the first bifurcation is configured to track along the stiff wire into a left common carotid artery, and wherein the second bifurcation is configured to track along the stabilization wire, both the first bifurcation and the second bifurcation are configured to exit the sheath catheter, wherein the first bifurcation is larger than the second bifurcation, wherein each of the first bifurcation and the second bifurcation comprises an atraumatic tip, wherein the first bifurcation is configured to slideably receive the guidewire, and wherein the second bifurcation is configured to slideably receive the stabilization wire, wherein the stiff wire and the atraumatic tip on each of the first bifurcation and the second bifurcation are removed upon the first bifurcation reaching the left common carotid artery along the stiff wire, and the second bifurcation tracking along the stabilization wire. a sheath catheter comprising a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the sheath catheter is configured to be inserted percutaneously and guided through a femoral artery and a descending thoracic aorta to an aortic arch; a snare wire configured to be inserted through the sheath catheter and extended to the aortic arch with a snare loop; a stabilization wire configured to be inserted through a radial artery and guided through a subclavian artery to the aortic arch, wherein the stabilization wire is configured to be captured by the snare loop and pulled into the sheath catheter and out of the proximal end of the sheath catheter; a reverse curve catheter comprising an atraumatic tip and configured to be inserted Into the sheath catheter in parallel with the stabilization wire; a stiff wire configured to be inserted into the reverse catheter to a procedural site in the carotid artery, wherein the reverse curve catheter is removed, leaving the stiff wire and the stabilization wire at the procedural site in the carotid artery, a bifurcated catheter comprising a first bifurcation and a second bifurcation, wherein the first bifurcation is configured to track along the stiff wire into a left common carotid artery, and wherein the second bifurcation is configured to track along the stabilization wire, both the first bifurcation and the second bifurcation are configured to exit the sheath catheter, wherein the first bifurcation is larger than the second bifurcation, wherein each of the first bifurcation and the second bifurcation comprises an atraumatic tip, wherein the first bifurcation is configured to slideably receive the guidewire, and wherein the second bifurcation is configured to slideably receive the stabilization wire, wherein the stiff wire and the atraumatic tip on each of the first bifurcation and the second bifurcation are removed upon the first bifurcation reaching the left common carotid artery along the stiff wire, and the second bifurcation tracking along the stabilization wire.
