  • Title: Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty using a cutting balloon for stenosis of the arch vessels in aortoarteritis.
    Author: Rath PC, Lakshmi G, Henry M.
    Journal: Indian Heart J; 2004; 56(1):54-7. PubMed ID: 15129793.
    Abstract:
    Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with or without stenting of steno-occlusions in the supra-aortic arch vessels in aortoarteritis is associated with suboptimal results and higher restenosis rates, particularly in those with diffuse disease. We report two cases of stand-alone cutting balloon angioplasty for patients who presented with critical stenosis of the common carotid artery, and occlusion of the subclavian artery, respectively.
