Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of subclavian stenosis from neurofibromatosis.

چکیده
Vascular involvement in neurofibromatosis type 1 occurs in approximately 9% of patients in autopsy series (1). Vascular symptoms are usually from renal artery stenosis or cerebral arterial occlusion. Treatment of symptomatic vascular neurofibromatosis has been by medical and surgical means as well as more recently by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) (2, 3). We report a case of stenosis of the left subclavian artery treated successfully with angioplasty.

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and stenting is commonly used to treat subclavian artery stenosis (SAS). In this study, the outcomes of 43 consecutive cases, performed at one institution from October 1997 to October 2005, were analyzed. Mean stenosis was 84.41% pre-intervention and 6.83% post-intervention. Five of the procedures were angioplasty alone; 38 were angioplasty with stent...

ABSTRACT Renal artery stenosis is one of the treatable causes of systemic hypertension in children. For years surgery was the treatment of choice, but recently PTRA (Percutaneous Transluminal Renal Angioplasty) has been successfully performed for relief of the stenosis. This method compared with surgery is safe, simple and has lower complication rate. At times stent placement is performed in co...

Subclavian steal syndrome refers to the association of neurological symptoms related to vertebrobasilar insufficiency and the phenomenon of subclavian steal. We report the case of a 63 year-old male patient that presented subclavian steal syndrome and severe proximal (80%) stenosis of the left subclavian artery. The patient was submitted to percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting on ...
متن کامل[Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in patients with subclavian stenosis and internal mammary grafts].
Subclavian artery stenosis is an uncommon cause of myocardial ischaemia in patients with internal mammary artery grafts. Coronary subclavian steal and impaired flow through the graft are the two mechanisms implied. We report 2 patients with mammary artery grafts in whom reappraisal of anginal symptoms was related to the presence of proximal subclavian stenoses located just before the origin of ...

BACKGROUND The effectiveness of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in renal artery stenosis (RAS) associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) has not been established. A review of the literature revealed 14 studies, mainly case reports, of which a total of 16 patients had been treated with PTA, all prior to any surgery being undertaken. METHODS A retrospective case review of 10 ch...
