Coarctation proximal to both subclavian arteries in an adult: diagnosis by intravenous digital subtraction angiography.
Severe coarctation proximal to both subclavian arteries, a rare entity previously reported only once in an adult, was successfully diagnosed preoperatively using intravenous digital subtraction angiography (DSA). The significance of this rare condition and the value of intravenous DSA for aortography in a patient with no peripheral pulses is discussed.
