Abstract
Subclavian artery stenosis is a rare cause of recurrent myocardial ischemia in patients who have undergone left internal mammary‐coronary artery bypass grafting. A patient with this syndrome was successfully treated by placement of Palmaz biliary stents in the left subclavian artery. Angiographic and hemodynamic evidence of restricted subclavian flow resolved following stenting, as did the patient's unstable angina syndrome. Endoluminal stenting of the proximal subclavian artery for the treatment of coronary‐subclavian steal can be performed safely and provides an alternative to other forms of surgical or percutaneous (PTCA, directional atherectomy) revascularization for treatment of this disorder. © Wiley‐Liss, Inc.Keywords
