چکیده

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 innominate and left subclavian arteries in a patient who presented with cardiomyopathy and flow reversal in the right carotid and bilateral vertebral arteries.

Bilateral subclavian steal: a review of an unusual twist in a common disorder.

The authors present two cases of bilateral subclavian steal syndrome, a rare condition that does not commonly cause neurovascular symptoms. Lateralizing hemispheric events occur usually with carotid lesions. Vertebral-basilar insufficiency is three times more common in bilateral than in unilateral subclavian steal syndrome. Arm-exercise-induced brain-stem dysfunction is rare, and is seen only i...

A Rare Case of Takayasu Arteritis with Secondary Subclavian Steal Syndrome

Takayasu arteritis (also known as pulseless disease, aortoarteritis, and aortic arch syndrome) is a chronic, inflammatory and occlusive vasculitis of the aorta and its primary branches as well as the pulmonary arteries. It predominantly affects young females, particularly from India and South East Asia.Subclavian steal syndrome secondary to takayasu arteritis occurs when there is severe stenosi...

Isolation of the Left Subclavian Artery with Right Aortic Arch in Association with Bilateral Ductus Arteriosus and Ventricular Septal Defect

Right aortic arch with isolation of the left subclavian artery is a rare anomaly. The incidence of bilateral ductus arteriosus is sporadic, and a right aortic arch with isolation of the left subclavian artery in association with bilateral ductus arteriosus is therefore extremely rare. Since the symptoms and signs of isolation of the left subclavian artery can include the absence or underdevelop...

Velocity-Encoded Phase-Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Diagnosing Severe Bilateral Subclavian Steal Syndrome with Complete Vertebral Reversal.

UNLABELLED Subclavian steal syndrome (SSS) involves changes in hemodynamics secondary to proximal subclavian artery stenosis and/or occlusion where the subclavian artery "drains" the blood from the vertebral artery. It sometimes induces neuromuscular symptoms, especially in cases with bilateral involvement. We report the case of a 65-year-old symptomatic male with severe bilateral SSS with comp...
