Dilated cardiomyopathy due to miliary tuberculosis.

The treatment options for SAS are surgery or percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting. Percutaneous intervention has recently gained popularity because it is less invasive. A review by Ribichini et al. (10) summarized the success and safety of percutaneous treatment of these lesions. In our case, there was no steal, but there was severe myocardial ischemia due to diminished blood flow to LIMA in which there was distal subclavian stenosis. A careful evaluation before the operation for preventing of this syndrome is essential.
