Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and stenting in the management of the coronary-subclavian steal syndrome (CSSS). A 56-year-old man presented with CSSS due to occlusion of the left subclavian artery. He was treated with PTA and placement of two stents in the left subclavian artery. Systolic blood pressure became equal in both arms and dizziness disappeared. There were no complications. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting can effectively and safely manage CSSS.
