Abstract
Objectives: To analyze the clinical characteristics, management approaches, and outcomes of revascularization for symptomatic subclavian artery stenosis in 6 patients treated at the vascular surgery department of Moulay Ismail Military Hospital in Meknes between December 2021 and December 2024. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 6 patients who underwent percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) with or without stent placement. Clinical, radiological, and procedural data were collected and analyzed. Results: All patients had cardiovascular risk factors. Technical success was achieved in all patients with an average stenosis reduction of 87%. Complete symptom resolution was observed in 80% of patients. Minor complications, including hematoma at the puncture site, were reported in 1 case. Conclusion: PTA with or without stenting is a safe and effective treatment option for symptomatic subclavian artery stenosis, providing significant clinical improvement.
