Multiterritory Atherosclerosis and Carotid Intima-Media Thickness as Cardiovascular Risk Predictors After Percutaneous Angioplasty of Symptomatic Subclavian Artery Stenosis

Conclusions— In patients with symptomatic subclavian artery stenosis, baseline carotid intima-media thickness and ICA stenosis of 50% or greater are associated with multiterritory atherosclerosis, whereas intima-media thickness progression is associated with the risk of cardiovascular events.
