With recent advancement in percutaneous endovascular management,most atherosclerotic peripheral arterial diseases are amenable for intervention.However,there is limited published literature about atherosclerotic axillary artery involvement and its endovascular management.We report two cases of atherosclerotic axillary artery stenosis,which were successfully managed with stent angioplasty using self expanding nitinol stents. The associated coronary artery disease was treated by percutaneous angioplasty and stenting.The long term follow-up revealed patent axillary stents in both cases.
