Abstract:
Objective To describe our follow-up results of interventional management in 20 patients with subclavian artery stenosis. Methods This study involved in 20 symptomatic patients with an average age of 63.4 years,a mean stenose severity of 86.2% and a mean systolic arterial pressure difference of 116 mm?Hg between both upper limbs. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in the first 8 patients and stenting in the last 12 patients were performed via a right femoral or radial artery. Results Both PTA and stenting were successfully archived in all patients with normalization of radial pulses and a mean systolic arterial pressure difference of 24 mm?Hg between both upper limbs. No major complications occurred. In the follow-up for an average of 18.5 months,19 patients were free of adverse events except one with symptom recurrence. Conclusion As effective,simple and safe procedures,PTA and stenting can be used as a first-line treatment modality for the symptomatic patients with subclavian artery stenosis.
