Abstract
Subclavian artery stenosis is a rare cause of angina in patients who have undergone coronary revascularization using the internal mammary artery. The traditional approach to this problem is surgical revascularization of the subclavian artery with a bypass graft. We report the successful treatment of a patient with this condition using percutaneous transluminal subclavian artery angioplasty, obviating an additional surgical procedure.
