Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty of the Subclavian Artery in Nonspecific Aortoarteritis: Results of Long-term Follow-up

The results of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) of the subclavian artery in nonspecific aortoarteritis (Takayasu disease) are analyzed. Twenty-four patients (15 men, nine women; age range, 18–47 years; mean, 37.1 years) with occlusive disease in 26 subclavian arteries, had symptoms due to...

Zusammenfassung:The results of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) of the subclavian artery in nonspecific aortoarteritis (Takayasu disease) are analyzed. Twenty-four patients (15 men, nine women; age range, 18–47 years; mean, 37.1 years) with occlusive disease in 26 subclavian arteries, had symptoms due to vertebrobasilar insufficiency, upper limb claudication, or both. Aortography revealed stenosis in 19 arteries and occlusion in seven. The lesions were focal in 14 arteries (
