A patient who suffered recurrent myocardial ischaemia and cerebrovascular symptoms 56 months after a quadruple coronary bypass is reported. Three coronary arteries had been bypassed using reversed saphenous vein and the other using the left internal mammary artery (IMA). Coronary angiography demonstrated patency of al bypasses but the presence of an obstruction of the left subclavian artery proximal to the origin of the left IMA, with angiographic criteria of the steal syndrome. The patient's symptoms were relieved by bypass from the left common carotid artery to the distal left subclavian artery. The pathophysiology, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of coronary steal syndrome are discussed.

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.

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.

Splenic steal syndrome (SSS) post liver transplant is a potential cause of graft dysfunction in the setting of peripheral hepatic arterial bed resistance and redirection of blood flow to a dominant splenic artery resulting in reduction of hepatic arterial inflow. We report utilization of balloon occlusion of the proximal splenic artery as an objective measure to confirm the diagnosis of SSS in a patient with orthotopic liver transplant followed by successful treatment with proximal splenic artery embolization using Gelfoam and Amplatzer vascular plug. Written informed consent for the publication of this case report was obtained from the patient.

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.
