Subclavian arteriopathy in the young patient.
Non-atheromatous stenosis of the subclavian artery is rare. A 10-year experience, comprising 5 cases of non-infective arteritis and 1 of fibromuscular dysplasia, in patients of average age 29 years, is described. The literature is reviewed and the possible aetiology discussed. Acceptable functional results were obtained using extra-anatomical procedures such as carotid subclavian and carotid axillary bypass. There was no appreciable morbidity.
