Editors-In-Chief: Alexandra Almonacid M.D.[1] and Jeffrey J. Popma M.D.[2]

Etiology

Epidemiology and Demographics

  • Incidence of 0.5 - 2% (1)
  • Left : Right = 3-4 : 1 ratio
  • The stenosis is usually focal and in the proximal segment of the vessel
  • Predictors:Hypertension, Tobacco use, Dyslipidemia, and Diabetes.

Complications

Prognosis

Favorable Predictors

  • Presence of subclavian steal syndrome : it prevents the risk of vertebral embolization
  • Isolatated stenosis
  • Recurrent angina following an internal mammary coronary bypass

Outcomes

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty appears safe and efficient therapy for subclavian artery stenoses is not only an effective initial treatment, but also successful over the short- and long-term results.

Clinical manifestations

Diagnosis

Clinical Diagnosis

Noninvasive Diagnostic Modalities

  • Duplex Ultrasonography
    • Duplex ultrasonography of the subclavian artery and the vertebral artery can detect stenosis greater than 50% with a moderately high sensitivity (80% range) and an excellent negative predictive value (> 95%) (4)
    • Duplex ultrasonography is also highly useful in clinical follow-up of patients after revascularization procedures (4)
  • Diagnostic Imaging: The diagnostic imaging work-up of patients should include:(2)
    • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with or without arteriography (MRA)
    • Computed tomographic (CT) scan of the brain with close evaluation of the posterior fossa and brainstream.
  • Arteriography
    • Ascending aortography
    • Selective arteriography of supra-aortic vessels

Treatment

Indications for Revascularization

  • Symptomatic ischemia of the posterior fossa
  • Symptomatic subclavian steal syndrome
  • Disabling upper extremity claudication
  • Preservation of flow to LIMA/RIMA
  • Preop coronary bypass surgery, where LIMA/RIMA will be used
  • Postop CABG LIMA/RIMA with ischemia (with or without coronary-subclavian steal syndrome)
  • Preservation of inflow to axillary graft or dialysis conduit
  • “Blue-digit” syndrome (embolization to fingers)
  • Inability to measure blood pressure
  • Progressive stenosis or thromboembolus threatening cerebral blood supply

Indications for Revascularization in Asymptomatic Patients

  • Angioplasty of the subclavian stenosis before other cardiovascular intervention and preservation of the vasculature for other angioplasty procedures
  • Preservation of the cerebral perfusion. If other arterial lesions exist at the level of the supra-aortic vessels, to improve cerebral flow.

PTA

Percutaneous revascularization with balloon angioplasty followed by stent placement is the treatment of choice.

  • Prevertebral Portion of Subclavian Artery: Balloon expandable or self expanding stents with good radial force
  • Postvertebral Portion of Subclavian Artery: Self expanding stents to avoid possibility of postvertebral compression by extravascular structures at the thoracic outlet

Indications for Covered Stents

  • Aneurysm or “pseudoaneurysm”
  • Traumatic artery injury
  • Spontaneous arterial rupture or dissection

Associated Vertebral Artery Stenosis

  • Kissing balloon technique
  • Complication: brain embolization
  • Cerebral protection devices, protection balloons, or filters could be used.

Surgery

  • Carotid-subclavian bypass
  • Aortosubclavian bypass
  • Axilloaxillary bypass

Technical Issues

Anticoagulation

  • Premedication with Aspirin, with optional addition of clopidogrel
  • Anticoagulation for a period of several weeks prior to revascularization in cases of Subclavian occlusion

Femoral Approach

It is used at first intention in the majority of the cases

Brachial Approach

  • Recanalization of an occluded Subclavian artery (SA)
  • When the occlusion begins at the ostium of the SA
  • Severe tortuosity of the aorta
  • Iliac and subclavian artery
  • Bilateral occlusion of the iliac arteries

Class III (No Benefit)
"1. Asymptomatic patients with asymmetrical upper-limb blood pressure, periclavicular bruit, or flow reversal in a vertebral artery caused by subclavian artery stenosis should not undergo revascularization unless the internal mammary artery is required for myocardial revascularization.
