A nonselective new angiography was performed through the right femoral artery, showing occlusion of the right subclavian artery in its proximal portion that affected the vertebral and the internal mammary artery (Figure 1).
Full view of the approach shows (1) right internal carotid stent, (2) balloon acting as embolic protection device, and (3) remanent thrombus into the proximal vertebral artery.

The angiogram showed remanent thrombus into the proximal vertebral artery segment (Figure 2), which was aspired through the brachial artery with a catheter while the balloon was still open.
(1) Cervical rib; (2) Sacular aneurysm in the distal subclavian artery.
