Brachiocephalic disease symptoms. Common carotid artery disease may compromise flow or produce emboli that affect the anterior cerebral circulation, producing neurologic symptoms. Subclavian artery disease may affect any of the following: the posterior cerebral circulation by vertebral-subclavian steal, producing vertebrobasilar insufficiency; the coronary circulation by coronary-subclavian steal, producing coronary insufficiency; or the distal brachial circulation, producing either extremity insufficiency or microembolization. Innominate artery disease, if present, may affect either the right subclavian artery circulation or the right common carotid artery circulation, or both. (CHF = congestive heart failure; MI = myocardial infarction; TIAs = transient ischemic attacks.)
