Article Synopsis
- Coronary subclavian steal syndrome (CSS) occurs when there's blockage in the subclavian artery, causing reversed blood flow in a key artery linked to heart bypass, leading to heart tissue damage.
- Despite the success of angioplasty for some subclavian issues, there are cases where it's not an option, prompting the need for carotid subclavian bypass (CSB) as an alternative treatment.
- A study reviewing CSB procedures between 1991 and 2001 found that this method is safe and effective for treating symptom-causing CSS, especially when other options are unavailable.
