AI Article Synopsis
- A 33-year-old patient was found to have a right-sided aortic arch and an occluded left subclavian artery after discovering a significant blood pressure difference between their arms.
- The left subclavian artery issue was asymptomatic, meaning the patient wasn’t experiencing any noticeable problems.
- Due to the lack of symptoms or complications, doctors recommended a conservative management approach rather than immediate intervention.
Article Abstract
We present the case of a 33-year-old patient with a rare combination of a right-sided aortic arch and occluded asymptomatic aberrant left subclavian artery diagnosed after the coincidental finding of an interarm blood pressure difference. Because there were no symptoms of local compression or subclavian steal, conservative management was suggested.

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: Interarm systolic blood pressure difference (IASD) values >15 mmHg (IASD > 15) are associated with increased cardiovascular risk, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This report evaluated whether IASD >15, assessed by different protocols [sequential or simultaneous; based on one or several blood pressure (BP) readings], was associated with adverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling.
Methods: This cross-sectional study evaluated 605 individuals who underwent clinical and echocardiography evaluation and three pairs of simultaneous arm BP readings.

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to explore the prevalence of interarm blood pressure differences (IAD) and its relationship with hypertension and peripheral atherosclerosis in a population of 67-year-old Danes.
- Results showed that women had a higher prevalence of IAD (26.8%) compared to men (21.0%) and this difference remained statistically significant even after adjustments.
- Misclassification rates were also examined, revealing that approximately 14.5% of women and 15.3% of men with elevated blood pressure readings in the higher arm could be incorrectly identified as non-hypertensive.
Arteriovenous Oscillometric Plethysmography for Fistula Functional Testing.

Introduction: The aim of the presented prospective observational study was to evaluate the effect of fistula flow on peripheral wave morphology and pulse wave velocity by means of the oscillometric Vicorder®-device with the purpose of fistula surveillance.
Methods: Digitized and normalized curves of 53 haemodialysis patients at the fistula and non-fistula arm were analysed. Slope parameters and the areas under the curve of characteristic sections of pulse waves as well as the power spectrum of the pulse waves and their first and second derivatives were computed.
