Abstract
- Vascular involvement in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a well known but clinically underestimated phenomenon. Arterial stenosis and aneurysm have been reported and among the stenotic vasculopathy, renal artery stenosis is the most common type. On PubMed search, there have been 9 reported cases of subclavian arterial involvement in NF1, of which only one case showed subclavian arterial stenosis. We report a 41-year-old man with NF1 and a subclavian artery stenosis who was treated successfully with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty.
