β¦ Synopsis
Patients with subclavian steal syndrome present with symptoms of vertebrobasilar ischemia. Although a n g b graphy has traditionally been used to confirm the diagnosis of subclavian steal and plan reconstrudve surgery in symptomatic patients, duplex ultrasonography now offers rapid diagnosis and also permits examination of the other extracranial vessels. The treatment of subclavian steal syndrome is surgical. Extra-anatomic bypass procedures are used to increase inflow to the subclavian artery, abolishing the steal phenomenon. Carotid-subclavian bypass or transposition and subclavian-subclavian or axilloaxillary bypass are the procedures of choice; selection is governed by the presence of coexistent carotid artery disease.

The syndrome of coronary-subclavian steal presenting with angina pectoris after coronary revascularization with the mammary arteries is not common. This disorder should be suspected in post LIMA patients with blood pressure differences between the arms and confirmed by angiography. PTA of the subcla
