title: Endovascular repair of symptomatic coronary-subclavian steal syndrome due to stenosis of the proximal left subclavian artery.
abstract: We report a patient with left subclavian artery stenosis in whom the internal thoracic artery (ITA) had been used as a coronary bypass. She presented with symptomatic myocardial and brain ischemia resulting from coronary-subclavian steal syndrome and was successfully treated with angioplasty and stenting.
