[Our experience with interaxillary shunts. Apropos of 39 shunts. Technic, results, indications].
The technique used and the results obtained in 39 patients with chronic obstructive subclavian artery lesions treated by interaxillary shunts are described and the literature reviewed. The indications for this therapy appear to be well defined and to apply mainly to elderly patients, to those with evidence of return flow after carotid-subclavian bypass, and to those with upper limb ischemia from post-vertebral lesions. This type of shunt is effective, is simple to perform and possesses minimal morbidity.
