[Subclavian transposition and carotid-subclavian bypass in the treatment of subclavian steal syndrome]. 1987

R Stock-Denschel, and L Metz, and F Stimmel

The authors operated on 89 patients for subclavian-steal syndrome, between 1975 and 1984. A carotid-subclavian bypass was applied to 53 patients and transposition of the subclavian artery to another 36. All transpositions were open after an average follow-up period of 2.7 years, where an occlusion was recorded after 4.6 years from eight patients (19.5 per cent) to whom a bypass had been applied. Postoperative complications were equal in both groups. A complex of Horner symptoms was recorded from either group. Phrenoparalysis was recorded from six patients with carotid-subclavian bypass and from four patients with subclavian transposition.

D013348	Subclavian Artery	Artery arising from the brachiocephalic trunk on the right side and from the arch of the aorta on the left side. It distributes to the neck, thoracic wall, spinal cord, brain, meninges, and upper limb.	Arteries, Subclavian,Artery, Subclavian,Subclavian Arteries
D013349	Subclavian Steal Syndrome	A clinically significant reduction in blood supply to the BRAIN STEM and CEREBELLUM (i.e., VERTEBROBASILAR INSUFFICIENCY) resulting from reversal of blood flow through the VERTEBRAL ARTERY from occlusion or stenosis of the proximal subclavian or brachiocephalic artery. Common symptoms include VERTIGO; SYNCOPE; and INTERMITTENT CLAUDICATION of the involved upper extremity. Subclavian steal may also occur in asymptomatic individuals.
