title: [A diabetic patient with asymptomatic multiple arterial disease].
abstract: The authors present the case of a 73-year-old diabetic woman who was referred to hospital because of the suspicion of lower limb peripheral arterial stenosis. During evaluations signs of the subclavian artery occlusion were found. In addition to diabetes, the patient had several risk factors revealed by medical history. Subclavian artery occlusion was solved by angiography guided stenting, and angiography also showed the presence of abnormalities in renal arteries. This case draws the attention to the importance of screening old diabetic patients for arterial stenosis and the importance of accurate risk factor assessment.
