Abstract
A 54-year-old man presented with a 3-year history of rest pain of an ischaemic scalp ulcer. Angiography demonstrated that the only blood supply to his head was the left internal carotid artery. Stenting the left subclavian artery and subsequently allowing flow into his left vertebral artery alleviated his symptoms.
