- Abstract
The subclavian steal syndrome (SSS), also called subclavian steal steno-occlusive disease, is defined as reversal of the vertebral artery flow secondary to significant hemodynamically ipsilateral occlusion or stenosis of the proximal subclavian artery. It is usually seen secondary to atherosclerosis and aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA), resulting in SSS which is even less common. Aberrant right subclavian artery is a kind of vascular anomaly associated with coarctation of the aorta (CoA). It usually originates from the descending aorta distal to the site of CoA. Here, we present a young man who was a case of ARSA and CoA. He developed SSS after transcatheter aortic stenting secondary to unusual origin of ARSA from the site of CoA. Awareness of this rare anomaly helps to overcome this complication in patients undergoing interventional stenting for CoA and ARSA with anomalous origin.
