    Author: Chen Z, Wu QH.
    Journal: Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi; 2003 Jul; 41(7):499-501. PubMed ID: 12921653.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical effect of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and stent on the subclavian steal syndrome. METHODS: The clinical results of PTA and stent in the treatment of subclavian steal syndrome in 78 patients were analysed. RESULTS: 100% interventional procedure success rate was achieved with a mean systolic arterial pressure difference of <or= 10 mm Hg between both upper limbs and normalization of radial pulses. No major complications occurred. During a period of 27-month followup 66 patients were free of adverse events except fail of followup in 12 patients. CONCLUSION: PTA with stent placement is a good method in the treatment of subclavian steal syndrome. It is a safe, easy to be performed, minimally invasive procedure with good clinical results.
