Subclavian steal syndrome (SSS), also called subclavian steal steno-occlusive disease, is a medical condition characterized by retrograde (reversed) blood flow in the vertebral artery or the internal thoracic artery. This reversal occurs due to proximal stenosis (narrowing) or occlusion of the subclavian artery.
VBI may also result from altered blood flow as seen in subclavian steal syndrome. VBI is described as a cause of symptoms that occur with changes to head position. Rotational vertebral artery syndrome (sometimes referred to as Bow Hunter's Syndrome) results from vertebral artery compression on rotating the neck. [7]
Vascular access steal syndrome is a syndrome caused by ischemia (not enough blood flow) resulting from a vascular access device (such as an arteriovenous fistula or synthetic vascular graft–AV fistula) that was installed to provide access for the inflow and outflow of blood during hemodialysis.
Compression of the subclavian artery can cause thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). [6] The subclavian arteries can be vulnerable to aneurysm. [6] Subclavian steal syndrome occurs when there is occlusion or stenosis of the subclavian artery at a point before the branching of the vertebral artery. [7]
Steal syndrome may refer to: Cardiac steal syndrome; Subclavian steal syndrome, often associated with fainting, and typically due to atherosclerosis; Vascular access steal syndrome, a problem related to a surgically created vascular access (fistula) for hemodialysis
For example, the Mayo Clinic says, you might see: Blind spots, which might be outlined with geometric designs. Shimmering stars or spots. Zigzag lines that slowly float across your vision. Flashes ...
However, the Mayo Clinic also suggests these strategies for managing chronic pain: Practice breathing exercises. Stay active as best as you can. Do meaningful activities to help you feel good.
The Blalock–Thomas–Taussig shunt (BTT shunt), [1] previously known as the Blalock–Taussig Shunt (BT shunt), [2] is a surgical procedure used to increase blood flow to the lungs in some forms of congenital heart disease [3] such as pulmonary atresia and tetralogy of Fallot, which are common causes of blue baby syndrome.
