[Loco-regional complications in the surgery of the subclavian artery].
Surgical treatment of subclavian artery atherosclerotic lesions has prophylactic significance in the evolution of cerebrovascular insufficiency. Local complications during interventions on subclavian artery are incidentally more significant than cerebral ischemic complications. Among local complications we reported 2 cases of phrenic nerve involvement and 1 case of thoracic duct lesion in a series of 86 operated patients. We never found cerebral ischemic complications in the surgery of subclavian artery atherosclerotic lesions.
