A patient with Takayasu's disease and stenoses of the left common carotid and subclavian arteries presenting with unilateral episodic blindness and arm claudication was treated by transluminal angioplasty. Dilatation of the subclavian lesion by the femoral route and the carotid lesion through a carotid arteriotomy has resulted in relief of symptoms without morbidity.
