Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Peripheral artery disease assessment typically focuses on the evaluation of lower extremity symptoms and signs. Few practitioners consider the importance of upper extremity arterial disease; which, besides causing hand and arm symptoms, is associated with significant neurologic and cardiac sequelae.
Significant Subclavian artery stenosis is present in approximately 2% of the free-living population and 7% of the clinical population.
