We present a case of a 56-year-old male patient who was admitted at the clinic with complains of pain and blue-colored index finger of the left hand since a couple of days. He has an anamnesis of claudication of the left arm. After the contrast CT-angiogram, which showed a 80% stenosis of the left subclavian artery, the patient had an allergic reaction. This changed our initial plan for an endovascular intervention and we proceeded to an open surgical procedure. Because of the suitable anatomical characteristics we did a replantation of the subclavian artery to the common carotid artery. The postoperative period went smoothly. Six months after the intervention the patient is feeling fine. He has pulse on the radial and ulnar arteries and no sign of the necrosis of the index linger. Subclavian-carotid transposition is a safe method for the treatment of steno-occlusive lesions of the subclavian artery. Except the ortograde physiological blood flow through the vertebral artery and the construction of only one anastomosis, the main advantage over the bypass surgery is not using autogenous or heterogenous prosthetic material. |
