Overview

Subclavian steal-carotid recovery phenomenon appears to be related to the occlusion of the truncus brachiocephalicus and can be a rare cause of neurological deficit. In this syndrome, the right common carotid artery and right subclavian artery are filled with retrograde flow from the ipsilateral vertebral artery. We present a patient with this type of steal syndrome managed by a classical surgical procedure for stent reocclusion in the truncus brachiocephalicus.

Key words:
steal phenomenon − endarterectomy − truncus brachiocephalicus
