  • Title: Subclavian and vertebral arterial interventions.
    Author: Müller-Hülsbeck S.
    Journal: Semin Intervent Radiol; 2007 Jun; 24(2):258-67. PubMed ID: 21326803.
    Abstract:
    Endovascular treatment of supra-aortic atherosclerotic arterial stenoses and occlusions using percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and stent placement is an accepted first-choice procedure. Technical success, primary success, and midterm patency after PTA and stent placement for the treatment of stenosed or obstructed brachiocephalic arteries are promising and complication rates are low. Permanent miniaturization and device improvement makes treatment of atherosclerotic obstructive disease by endovascular means in brachial and cephalic arteries a safe procedure showing promising midterm patency rates.
