RESUMO
A 79â¯year-old gentleman with a history of trauma resulting in paraplegia was being evaluated for vascular access for hemodialysis. Cardiac catheterization revealed a large, asymptomatic left subclavian artery aneurysm. The patient was taken to the hybrid vascular intervention suite. A small incision was made in the left arm to gain access to the left brachial artery into which a sheath was inserted. The aneurysm was crossed with a wire through which two, overlapping covered stents were deployed completely excluding the aneurysm. The patient was discharged to home the following day. Endovascular exclusion has become the treatment of choice for aneurysms of the subclavian artery.

We describe a 66-year-old female who presented with recurrent acute pulmonary edema and uncontrolled hypertension. She was diagnosed with left renal artery stenosis and treated with angioplasty and stent placement. Her clinical status improved initially but symptoms recurred within 4 months. Further evaluation documented renal artery in-stent restenosis, which was successfully treated with cutting balloon angioplasty followed by brachytherapy. The feasibility of renal artery brachytherapy and short-term follow-up is presented.
