12 cases of subclavian arterial stenosis or obstruction were treated with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). Atherosclerosis was considered as the cause of the arterial lesion in 7 cases. In 6 of them the lesion was located near the orifice of the subclavian artery. The lesion was 10.8 +/- 5.4 mm in length and 1.67 +/- 0.8 mm in diameter. After PTA the lumen was 6.58 +/- 1.11 mm in diameter. The clinical result was satisfactory. Arteries was found in 5 cases. Most of them had long segment obstructed lesion (46 +/- 36.6 mm in length, and 0.5 +/- 0.5 mm in diameter). The result of PTA was not satisfactory. The technique of PTA has been discussed.
