2 Fig. 1 CT angiogram showing focal (∼5mm) severe narrowing (lumen ∼2mm) of the proximal right subclavian artery (7mm distal to the origin of right vertebral artery). Right brachiocephalic trunk and right common carotid artery are normal in caliber with normal contrast opacification. Left subclavian artery shows focal (∼5mm) narrowing of the lumen, 10mm distal to the left vertebral artery.
