title: 20-year experience in operations for subclavian steal syndrome.
abstract: The aim of this article is to summarize our experience in operations for subclavian steal syndrome. We recommend anaesthesia with preservation of patient's consciousness and mobility, and we prefer transposition of arteries to prosthesis implantation. The main characteristic of this approaches is an attempt to increase safety of operation. A feasible procedure is suggested also in the case of reconstruction occlusion: the axillo-axillary bypass. (Fig. 6, Ref. 3.)
