Abstract
INTRODUCTION: To present patients with symptomatic subclavian artery disease and treatment possibility.
CASE REPORT: A 53-year-old female was admitted with vertigo and left arm claudication. Duplex-scan and MSCT arteriography verified subclavian artery occlusion. After the endovascular treatment failure, the patient was switched to surgical treatment - subclavian artery transposition. After the successful surgical treatment, the patient was discharged on the second postoperative day. If the patient is a candidate for surgery, the literature review shows good initial and long-term results after the subclavian artery transposition, and emphasizes this technique as superior.
CONCLUSION: Subclavian carotid transposition is a safe and effective method of treatment in patients after endovascular treatment failure or other indication. Also, the surgical treatment is technically demanding because of the difficult access to the vessel origin, and it requires experienced surgeons.
