title: [Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of the brachiocephalic arteries].
abstract: The results of eight percutaneous transluminal angioplastic (PTA) interventions in seven patients on the brachiocephalic arteries are presented. The occlusions and stenoses were dilated up to the normal lumen. The subjective symptoms disappeared in all of the patients and, similarly, the pulse and blood pressure in the arm were normalized. No complications were registered.
