Interventional treatment of the left subclavian in 2 patients with coronary steal syndrome

Figure 2 Percutaneous coronary intervention of left main artery and stent placement. It was performed with a good angiographic result (red arrow in A) However, retrograde flow from the left artery disease LAD to the LIMA graft remained after PCI, and sparse flow was seen in the distal LAD (orange and blue arrows in B, respectively). DSA confirmed the presence of high grades stenosis of the left subclavian and vertrebral artery (C). After angioplasty and bifurcation stent implantation a good angiographic result can be appreciated (orange and blue arrows in D) with normal opacification of the LIMA graft (red arrow in D). PCI: Percutaneous coronary intervention; LAD: Left artery disease; LIMA: Left internal mammary artery; DSA: Digital subtraction angiography.
