Carotid to Left Subclavian Artery Bypass Grafting for the Treatment of Coronary Subclavian Steal SyndromeNovel Teaching Points

Recurrent angina after coronary artery bypass grafting is rarely caused by left subclavian artery (LSCA) stenosis resulting in reduced left internal mammary artery blood flow. We present 2 cases of coronary-subclavian artery steal syndrome resulting from LSCA stenosis and their successful surgical m...

description Recurrent angina after coronary artery bypass grafting is rarely caused by left subclavian artery (LSCA) stenosis resulting in reduced left internal mammary artery blood flow. We present 2 cases of coronary-subclavian artery steal syndrome resulting from LSCA stenosis and their successful surgical management with left carotid to LSCA bypass. Based on the successful management described in this case report, and the limitations of other options in addressing coronary-subclavian artery steal syndrome, left carotid to LSCA bypass surgery should be considered for revascularization in patients who develop postoperative coronary-subclavian artery steal syndrome due to LSCA stenosis. Résumé: La récidive d’angine après le pontage aortocoronarien est rarement causée par la sténose de l’artère sous-clavière gauche (ASCG) entraînant la réduction du débit sanguin de l’artère mammaire interne. Nous présentons deux cas de syndrome du vol coronaro-sous-clavier résultant de la sténose de l’ASCG et la réussite de leur prise en charge par pontage entre l’artère carotide gauche et l’ASCG. Compte tenu de la réussite de la prise en charge décrite dans cette observation et des limites des autres options dans le traitement du syndrome du vol coronaro-sous-clavier, le pontage entre l’artère carotide gauche et l’ASCG devrait être envisagé lors de la revascularisation des patients qui présentent le syndrome du vol coronaro-sous-clavier postopératoire en raison de la sténose de l’ASCG.
