Objectives
Increased mean platelet volume (MPV) have been shown to be associated with peripheral artery disease and coronary artery disease previously. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between angiographically documented subclavian artery stenosis and MPV levels in the peripheral blood samples.
Methods
Thirty-five patients (12 males) with the diagnosis of subclavian artery stenosis and 38 control subjects (16 males) were included in this retrospective study. Hematocrit, hemoglobin, platelet count and MPV of the participants were recorded. The data of patients with subclavian artery stenosis was compared with the control group.

Results
The MPV values of patients with subclavian artery stenosis were found to be significantly higher than those of the controls (8.0 ±1.4 fl vs 7.1 ±0.5 fl, respectively, P < 0.001).
