Subclavian steal syndrome without subclavian stenosis

چکیده
Subclavian steal syndrome (SSS) has been well described in the setting of subclavian stenosis. We describe an unusual case of SSS caused by a high-flow arteriovenous dialysis fistula in the absence of subclavian stenosis, provide a review of the literature, and propose that arteriovenous fistula-induced SSS is an underdiagnosed cause of syncope in this population of patients.

Right subclavian steal associated with aberrant right subclavian artery.
The subclavian steal syndrome is a well-recognized clinical and radiographic entity that involves the left subclavian artery far more commonly than the right. Atherosclerotic stenoses are the most common underlying cause [1-3]. Right subclavian stenosis with associated steal is markedly less common. Although an aberrant right subclavian artery is one of the most common anomalies of the great ve...
متن کاملSubclavian fusiform aneurysm causing partial subclavian steal syndrome. Case report.
We present a 55-year-old man with repeated transient symptoms of vertebrobasilar arterial pathology. Physical examination detected no signs that would indicate the stenosis of the proximal subclavian artery segment. Ultrasound detected hemodynamic disorder of right vertebral artery, which correspond to a partial subclavian steal syndrome. Angiography shows fusiform aneurysm of ipsilateral subcl...
متن کاملBilateral Subclavian Steal Syndrome
Bilateral subclavian steal syndrome is a rare condition. It is usually due to reversal of vertebral blood flow in the setting of bilateral proximal subclavian or left subclavian plus innominate artery severe stenosis or occlusion. This finding may cause cerebral ischemia related to upper extremities exercise. We report a case of bilateral subclavian steal secondary to total occlusion of the inn...
متن کاملAnterograde flow compromise of a patent left internal mammary artery graft from a proximal subclavian artery stenosis. Myocardial ischemia not driven by the coronary-subclavian steal syndrome mechanism.
A 54-year male with previous triple vessel coronary artery and aorto-bi-femoral bypass graft surgeries complained of crescent angina. Stress induced myocardial ischemia on echocardiography was demonstrated. We performed direct stenting of a saphenous vein graft to the right coronary artery, via right radial approach. Subsequently stenting of a severe left subclavian artery proximal stenosis was...
متن کاملUltrasonographic follow-up of subclavian stenosis and occlusion: natural history and surgical treatment.
Continuous-wave Doppler ultrasonography and clinical examination were used over a 2-year period to monitor the natural history of subclavian stenoses and occlusions in 67 patients. Thirty-nine presented with subclavian steal and 28 without. We also studied an additional group of 29 patients who had undergone surgery for subclavian steal syndrome and vertebrobasilar transient ischemic attacks. T...
