چکیده

Five cases are reported of left subclavian steal syndrome associated with anomalous origin of the left vertebral artery from the aortic arch. In all five instances blood flow at the origin of the left vertebral artery was in an antegrade direction contrary to that usually reported in this condition. The distal subclavian artery was supplied via an extensive collateral network of vessels connecting the vertebral artery to the thyrocervical trunk.

Subclavian steal syndrome from the ipsilateral vertebral artery.

We present two cases of subclavian steal syndrome from the ipsilateral vertebral artery (VA) to the subclavian artery (SCA), one with the left VA originating from the aortic arch and the other with the left VA originating very close to the origin of the SCA, proximal to the occluded segment. In both cases, angiographic demonstration of these anatomic variations and successful endovascular treat...

Anatomical Variations of Vertebral Artery

Introduction: Vertebral arteries arise from the root of the neck as the first branches from the superior-posterior aspect of the subclavian arteries. They ascend the neck to enter the cranial cavity and supply blood to the brain. Methods: A total of 20 cadavers (in 10 years) were dissected for the study of variations in the origin of the vertebral artery. This study was conducte...

Thrombosis of Kommerell’s diverticulum with subclavian steal phenomenon in a patient with non-small cell lung carcinoma under chemotherapy

Kommerell's diverticulum (KD) is defined as a bulbous dilatation of the origin of an aberrant subclavian artery due to a remnant of the left fourth aortic arch. We report the case of an asymptomatic woman in whom progressive thrombosis of the KD extending to the prevertebral tract of an aberrant right subclavian artery was detected at multidetector computed tomography imaging for lung cancer st...

Origin of the right vertebral artery from the left side of the aortic arch proximal to the origin of the left subclavian artery.

The right vertebral artery most commonly originates from the right subclavian artery. There are a variety of anomalous origins of the right vertebral artery described throughout the literature ( 114); however, in most cases the artery arises from a vessel on the right side of the aortic arch. There have only been three reports of the right vertebral artery crossing over from an origin on the le...
