Bilateral carotid artery stenosis in the context of subclavian steal syndrome is an extremely rare finding. We report the case of a 75-year-old woman who presented with a transient ischemic attack. Bilateral internal carotid stenosis associated with left subclavian steal syndrome was diagnosed. Left internal carotid endarterectomy was performed under locoregional anesthesia. Inflation of a blood pressure cuff reversed the neurologic symptoms that appeared after internal carotid clamping. This rarely reported case remains a challenge to diagnose and treat because of its complex mechanisms and multiple risk factors. Our case highlights the importance of the surgical strategy adopted and the need for a good initial assessment.

The optimal management of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) remains a controversial subject. While some surgeons opt for a hemiarch approach to minimize bypass and cross-clamping time, others prefer partial or total arch replacement to prevent the need for additional operations. The advent of hybrid approaches offers a variety of options to the aortic surgeon in treating ATAAD.

Introduction: Management of patients with large aortic arch aneurysms who are considered high risk for frozen elephant trunk technique have been challenging, especially when they have a dilated ascending aorta (AA) that precludes total endovascular branched repair (arch BEVAR). A viable option in our armamentarium is wrapping of the AA (AW), and zone 0 Ishimaru TEVAR.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of our aortic database from 2013 to 2024 to select high-risk patients with aortic arch aneurysm that had an AW and TEVAR.

Angioplasty and stenting of brachiocephalic artery stenosis can be complicated by ischemic stroke, local hematoma, thromboses, or dissection of access vessels. However, hemodynamic instability has not been reported as a complication of this treatment. We report the case of an 83-year-old man who developed hypotension and bradycardia after brachiocephalic artery stenting.

Background: Subclavian steal syndrome (SSS) is not rarely found during ultrasound examinations. Previous reports demonstrated a relation between ethnic factors and SSS. Data regarding SSS in non-Western population are still lacking.
