Revascularization of left subclavian artery for coronary subclavian steal syndrome.
We have experienced 2 patients with coronary subclavian steal syndrome which progressed each to a different prognosis. Both cases received percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for subclavian artery stenosis after coronary artery bypass grafting. Although one case is doing well without any symptoms, the other case required axilloaxillary artery bypass grafting for the subclavian artery restenosis.
