ABSTRACT

A coronary steal syndrome may have its origin in subclavian artery stenosis. Patients with mammary artery anastomosis will develop angina when the blood flow in the subclavian artery is impaired.25-33 Hemodialysis shunts, and extra anatomic axillofemoral bypass grafts are endangered by a proximal subclavian artery obstruction.
