Abstract:
Tuberculous vasculitis is a very rare presentation of
tuberculosis. So far this is the second reported case in the literature. The diagnosis of this disorder is based on the clinical presentation as well as blood investigation results. With the ever improvement in modern medicine and
improvement in endovascular treatment of such diseases,
the morbidity and mortality of these patients have been
dramatically reduced with better clinical and survival results. We present a case of endovascular stenting of a stenotic subclavian artery with good results.
