Abstract
Upper extremity interventions account for 15 % of all symptomatic, extracranial cerebrovascular disease. Brachiocephalic/innominate and subclavian artery lesions account for the majority of upper extremity endovascular procedures with atherosclerotic occlusive disease as the principle etiology. Subclavian stenosis most frequently involves the ostial and/or proximal segment of the subclavian artery. The left subclavian artery is more frequently involved than the right. With technological advances in endovascular therapies providing a safe alternative to traditional surgery, a paradigm shift has developed in the way these lesions are treated.
