Unusual Response of Subclavian In-Stent Restenosis to Balloon Angioplasty in a Patient with HIV

الملخص EN

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection and use of protease inhibitors have been associated with accelerated atherosclerosis.

Increased rates of coronary in-stent restenosis are reported in these patients.

There is limited data available on peripheral vascular disease interventions on these patients.

Herein we report an aggressive subclavian in-stent restenosis with an unexpected response to balloon angioplasty treatment with a large, mobile tissue flap formation and its treatment with another stent.
