Stenting of a large thrombus-containing subclavian artery stenosis using a distal protection device. Indian Heart Journal. 2003 May-Jun; 55(3): 262-4http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/2947Atheromatous obstructive lesions of the arch vessels that contain thrombi are at high risk for distal embolization during angioplasty. This can lead to catastrophic neurological complications. We report a case of acute-on-chronic ischemia of the left upper limb due to thrombus-containing subclavian artery stenosis. After placement of an intravascular filter device, angioplasty and stent implantation successfully relieved the stenosis without any complications.engAgedBalloon Occlusion --instrumentationBlood Vessel Prosthesis Implantation --instrumentationFibrinolytic Agents --therapeutic useHeparin --therapeutic useHumansInfusions, IntravenousMaleProtective DevicesStentsSubclavian Steal Syndrome --radiographyThrombosis --radiographyCase Reports
