  • Title: Subclavian steal from the external carotid circulation.
    Author: Kapp JP.
    Journal: Surg Neurol; 1981 Mar; 15(3):220-4. PubMed ID: 7221873.
    Abstract:
    Three cases of subclavian steal syndrome with contribution to the retrograde flow of blood in the vertebral artery by the external carotid system are presented. In 1 patient progressive enlargement of an extracranial-intracranial bypass was demonstrated angiographically as the steal from the external carotid system was reduced. It is suggested that this pathway of collateral circulation may not be uncommon, and its recognition may influence the selection of procedure and timing of operation for revascularization of the brain.
