  • Title: [Subclavian-carotid artery transposition in the therapy of lesions of the proximal subclavian artery].
    Author: Kretschmer G, Pølterauer P, Piza F, Wagner O, Lechner G, Jantsch H.
    Journal: Langenbecks Arch Chir; 1983; 359(3):197-203. PubMed ID: 6876998.
    Abstract:
    Employing an extrathoracic approach 10 patients were operated upon for 12 obstructive lesions of the subclavian arteries using carotid-subclavian anastomosis. The operation was indicated 3 times for the pathological entity of arterial stenosis embolizing into the vascular periphery, 3 times for claudication of the upper extremity and 4 times for cerebro-vascular insufficiency. Followed up to 31 months all anastomoses remained patent. All the complications were managed conservatively and were considered of minor importance.
