Subclavian Steal Syndrome Secondary to Atherosclerosis: A Case Report
and Review of Literature
Abstract
Subclavian Steal Syndrome (SSS) is a rare vascular syndrome caused due
to proximal occlusion or stenosis of subclavian or innominate artery. It
is usually asymptomatic but occasionally may present with
vertebrobasilar insufficiency and/or upper limb ischemia.
Atherosclerosis is the most common cause.
