ABSTRACT
SUMMARY:
We report the results of 26 patients who underwent stent deployment for chronic total occlusion of proximal subclavian artery. From January 1998 to October 2005, 26 patients (18 male; mean age, 62.7 years, range 22 to 83 years), 28 lesions, underwent 29 procedures of stenting for chronic total occlusion of the proximal subclavian artery.Twenty-three patients had symptoms of claudication in their arm, no patients had subclavian steal syndrome.A brachial approach was used in 21 procedures, a femoral approach was used in five procedures, and combined femoral-brachial approach was required in three procedures. Primary stent deployment was success in 24 lesions (85.7%), and secondary procedure was success in one patient, totally 25 lesions (89.3%) were successfully treated by stenting. Procedure related complication occurred in four cases, including stent migration without symptoms in two procedures, hemianopsia on next day in a case, and TIA on unclear reason in one case. Permanent morbidity rate is 3.4% in procedure. Target lesion re-treatment required in three lesions, caused by subacute thrombosis, in-stent-restenosis, and dissection of the vessel by stent edge. The cases of subacute thrombosis and in-stent-restenosis were treated by re-PTA, and the case of dissection was treated by additional stenting. Secondary patency was 100%. We conclude that stenting for chronic total occlusion of subclavian arteries appears feasible and safe.
