Abstract
A middle-aged woman presented with recent-onset left hemiparesis and right subclavian steal syndrome. She was found to have an obstructed innominate artery. We successfully performed balloon angioplasty of the occluded innominate artery and encountered no complications during follow-up of currently 8 months.
