Subclavian artery angioplasty is an established treatment for subclavian steal syndrome and arm ischemia caused by subclavian stenosis. We report a case of angina pectoris caused by a subclavian artery stenosis proximal to a left internal mammary-coronary artery bypass graft. Angioplasty was performed without complication and with complete relief of symptoms. Reactive hyperemia was induced in the forearm and hand with a blood pressure cuff prior to angioplasty to increase blood flow to the arm, and to reduce the chance of graft embolization. Repeat angiography 6 months later confirmed continued patency of the subclavian artery and the graft and reversal of the steal physiology. The patient remains symptom free 15 months after angioplasty.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007387 Internal Mammary-Coronary Artery Anastomosis Direct myocardial revascularization in which the internal mammary artery is anastomosed to the right coronary artery, circumflex artery, or anterior descending coronary artery. The internal mammary artery is the most frequent choice, especially for a single graft, for coronary artery bypass surgery.

D000787 Angina Pectoris The symptom of paroxysmal pain consequent to MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA usually of distinctive character, location and radiation. It is thought to be provoked by a transient stressful situation during which the oxygen requirements of the MYOCARDIUM exceed that supplied by the CORONARY CIRCULATION.

D000800 Angioplasty, Balloon Use of a balloon catheter for dilation of an occluded artery. It is used in treatment of arterial occlusive diseases, including renal artery stenosis and arterial occlusions in the leg.
