Abstract
A 66-year-old man presented with bilateral subclavian steal syndrome ( SSS) due to proximal subclavian artery occlusions. He was treated by p ercutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty (PTA) and stent implantat ion in the left subclavian artery and by PTA alone in the right subcla vian artery. We could demonstrate that interventional treatment of sym ptomatic bilateral SSS is possible. If PTA alone is insufficient, sten t implantation should be considered.
