The authors discuss their experience in surgical treatment of 37 patients with occlusive lesions of the subclavian arteries. Ten patients had isolated lesions of the subclavian arteries and 37 had combined affections of the carotid and subclavian arteries. Analysis of their own clinical material allowed the authors to put forth their point of view on the indications for surgical treatment, the tactics and order of surgical interventions, and the choice of the optimal method and plastic. material fro reconstructive operations. Sixty-seven reconstructive operations were carried out, in 11 of them one-stage reconstruction of the carotid and subclavian arteries was performed. Fatal outcomes were not encountered. The results of surgery were studied in 20 patients in follow-up periods of 6 months to 3 years. Complete regression of neurological symptomatology was found in 87.5% of patients with TIA and in 88.8% of those with encephalopathy and circulatory disorders. This confirms the effectiveness of surgical treatment of patients with occlusive lesions of the subclavian arteries.

The unique structure and location of the internal thoracic artery make it an ideal conduit for coronary artery bypass grafting surgery and autologous breast reconstruction. Variants with different characteristics have the potential to impact surgical success. This report presents a female body donor with a novel bilateral variation of the internal thoracic artery.

Paradoxical embolism occurs when a clot originates in the venous system and traverses through a pulmonary or intracardiac shunt into the systemic circulation, with a mortality rate of around 18%. The risk factors for arterial embolism and venous thrombosis are similar, but different disease entities can lead to a hypercoagulable state of the blood, including antithrombin III (AT III) deficiency. We report the case of a 43-year-old man with a massive central pulmonary embolism with a rider embolus and concomitant aortic arch embolism with involvement of the brachiocephalic trunk, bilateral subclavian and axillary arteries, and the right vertebral artery, followed by a secondary ischaemic stroke.

Objective: To explore the prevalence and risk factors of carotid artery (CA) stenosis among subclavian steal syndrome (SSS) patients and to record their prognoses.
Methods: This observational study was retrospective. From January 2015 to October 2022, 169 patients were diagnosed with SSS.

Subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm (SAP) is a rare but lethal diagnosis, and an important condition that should be detected and managed imperatively. SAP has been seldom described in the literature, explaining the lack of concrete management guidelines. Herein we present a case study of a 63-year-old man with SAP post a transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) done 8 days prior to current presentation.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAberrant anatomical variation of the vertebral artery (VA) from an internal carotid artery (ICA) is considered a rare finding. The incidence of this phenomenon can lead to patients suffering from posterior circulation neurological deficit if the ICA becomes significantly diseased. VA atypical anatomical origin is considered one of the rare pathologies, not only precipitating neurovascular incidents but equally leading to severe difficulty in VA dissection and surgical exposure, especially in carotid artery procedures.
