Abstract
The subclavian steal syndrome results from occlusion of the proximal s ubclavian or innominate artery which causes reversal of blood flow in the ipsilateral vertebral artery. We describe a case where a further o cclusion of the ipsilateral common carotid artery (CCA) resulted in an intermittent reversal of flow in the ipsilateral external carotid art ery (ECA), to siphon blood up the internal carotid artery (ICA) and do wn the ipsilateral vertebral artery.
