Intermittent bilateral subclavian steal detected by ultrasound angiography

A 66-year-old man presented with bilateral subclavian steal syndrome (SSS) due to proximal subclavian artery occlusions. He was treated by percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty (PTA) and stent implantation in the left subclavian artery and by PTA alone in the right subclavian artery. We could demonstrate that interventional treatment of symptomatic bilateral SSS is possible. If PTA alone is insufficient, stent implantation should be considered.

The case of a 67-year-old woman with symptoms related to the vertebro-basilar system and blood pressure difference of the upper extremities is presented. Colour-Doppler imaging (CDI) with additional spectral tracing revealed partial subclavian steal syndrome with retrograde flow in the left vertebral artery during systole, which could be significantly enhanced by reactive hyperemia after left arm exercise. Angiography confirmed a high-grade stenosis of the proximal subclavian artery and balloon angioplasty was performed. Noninvasive follow-up by CDI demonstrated regular antegrade vertebral artery flow at rest, but minimal retrograde systolic flow after left arm exercise.
