Patients with multivessel coronary artery disease are more likely to have extensive atherosclerosis that involves other major arteries. Critical subclavian artery (SCA) stenosis can result in coronary subclavian steal syndrome that may present as recurrent ischemia and even myocardial infarction in patients with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). In patients with concomitant severe native cor...

Coronary subclavian steal syndrome with retrograde blood flow in the left internal mammary-coronary bypass graft is a rare but severe complication of cardiac surgery. The authors present a case of a 68-year-old man after coronary-artery bypass grafting using an internal mammary artery. He had been suffering from angina pectoris for the last several years before surgery. The patient was resuscit...

A 75-year-old man was transferred to our department from the local hospital because of recurrent episodes of dyspnea and angina at rest, with significant 3.0-mV STsegment depressions in ECG leads V3 through V6. His medical history was significant for coronary artery disease, 2-vessel coronary artery bypass grafts (1999), nondisabling stroke (2004), type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and pe...

Even though most vertebral artery anomalies are asymptomatic, but the normally arising from superoposterior surface of its ipsilateral subclavian artery, plays a vital role, via Subclavian Steal Syndrome to help in vascularization upper limb anatomical structures. The case left with proximal origin stenosis 72 year -old female cadaver is reported and pathophysiological consequences an hypothesi...

In patients with mammary-coronary bypass grafts, the presence of a subclavian artery stenosis proximal to the internal mammary artery may result in a condition termed coronary-subclavian steal syndrome of which the incidence varies between 0.07-3.4% among those requiring coronary grafts. We reported a patient with a history of the coronary artery bypass graft who presented with typical angina p...

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and stenting is commonly used to treat subclavian artery stenosis (SAS). In this study, the outcomes of 43 consecutive cases, performed at one institution from October 1997 to October 2005, were analyzed. Mean stenosis was 84.41% pre-intervention and 6.83% post-intervention. Five of the procedures were angioplasty alone; 38 were angioplasty with stent...
