Abstract

This chapter discusses the case of a patient who had recurrent cephalic arch stenosis for the past 18 months and has been treated with angioplasty on the average of every 2 months. At this point there were several possible alternatives that could be applied. One of these - cephalic vein outflow relacation was used.
