We present a rare manifestation of a common pathology: left sided sensorineural hearing loss secondary to subclavian steal syndrome after thoracic endovascular aortic repair for complicated acute aortic dissection. We describe the vascular physiology that can result in unilateral hearing loss and provide a brief review of subclavian steal syndrome. This case report highlights the importance of avid clinical recognition of an atypical presentation of a common vascular disease.

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.

Objective: To report a case series of three patients with symptomatic coronary-subclavian steal syndrome (CSSS) and to review the literature on published case series.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed three cases of CSSS patients treated with open and endovascular surgery at a single center over a period of three decades (1996-2024). A comprehensive review of case series involving more than three patients was also performed.

Wallenberg syndrome, also known as lateral medullary syndrome, is a rare condition affecting the vertebrobasilar circulation, causing symptoms such as vertigo, nystagmus, dysarthria, and hemifacial weakness. Typically linked to ischemic strokes, it can also arise from vertebrobasilar aneurysms. In rare cases, subclavian steal syndrome (SSS), involving retrograde flow in the vertebral artery due to subclavian stenosis, complicates the picture, as observed in this case of a 66-year-old woman with both conditions and a vertebrobasilar aneurysm.

Background: Ipsilateral subclavian vein stenosis in a well-functioning upper extremity arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is a significant factor contributing to AVF failure and sometimes swelling of ipsilateral upper extremity. Graft bypass surgery can alleviate outflow tract stenosis in upper extremity AVF, restore function, and efficiently relieve arm swelling. The present study aimed to evaluate patency and postoperative complications after cephalic to jugular graft bypass surgery in patients with upper extremity AVF failure or upper extremity swelling on the same side of the AVF resulting from ipsilateral subclavian vein stenosis.
