Subclavian steal syndrome detected with duplex pulsed Doppler sonography.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the evaluation of the extracranial carotid circulation for occlusive disease, duplex sonography was used routinely to determine the direction of flow in the vertebral arteries. Of 600 patients examined, 15 were found to have reversed flow in a vertebral artery-the subclavian steal syndrome. This was confirmed in the seven patients who underwent angiography. Duplex sonography was found to be a rapid, safe, accurate method for recognizing unsuspected or confirming clinically suspected subclavian steal syndrome.

Role of transcranial Doppler ultrasonography in stroke.
Transcranial Doppler sonography is a non-invasive, non-ionising, inexpensive, portable and safe technique that uses a pulsed Doppler transducer for assessment of intracerebral blood flow. This article deals with the principles and technique of transcranial Doppler sonography. It gives a brief overview of its use in evaluation of intracranial steno-occlusive disease, subarachnoid haemorrhage, an...

A 72-year-old male presented to the emergency department with gait instability and unclear speech. Computed tomography of the brain showed old lacunar infarcts in basal ganglia. Transcranial Doppler (TCD) sonography was normal. Extracranial Duplex sonography showed indirect hemodynamic signs of bilateral subclavian artery stenosis and both vertebral arteries also showed delayed systolic flow in...
متن کاملCardiac cycle-dependent alternating flow in vertebral arteries with subclavian artery stenoses.
Continuous-wave Doppler sonography is a reliable method for detecting severe subclavian stenosis and occlusion as well as subclavian steal. Intermediate stages leading to subclavian steal can also be detected. These are characterized by a cardiac-phase-dependent alternating flow direction in the vertebral artery. Some cases of proximal subclavian or proximal vertebral artery stenosis produce a ...
متن کاملA rare case of persistent hypoglossal artery associated with contralateral proximal subclavian stenosis
The persistent hypoglossal artery is rare vascular anomalies. We report the case of a 50-year old man with right hypoglossal artery, ipsilateral hypoplasic internal carotid artery, associated with left proximal subclavian stenosis with subclavian steal syndrome. Power-Doppler-Ultra-Sonography spectral images obtained after the patient exercised the left arm showed mid-systolic deceleration with...

28 Endovascular Today junE 2012 P roximal subclavian artery occlusive disease is a fairly common, usually asymptomatic, phenomenon.1 When patients become symptomatic, they can present with subclavian steal syndrome, or after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), coronary subclavian steal syndrome. Both syndromes share similar pathophysiology, diagnostic criteria, and management. The presentat...
