Subclavian Artery Disease: Etiology
Atherosclerosis Takayasu Arteritis Fibromuscular dysplasia Giant Cell Arteritis Radiation-induced Vascular Injury Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Neurofibromatosis

Subclavian Artery Atherosclerosis
Most common cause of subclavian artery stenosis Predilection for the proximal part of the artery The occlusion usually extends from the aortic arch to the origin of the vertebral artery due to poor collateral circulation

Takayasu Arteritis Nonspecific inflammatory disease
Primarily affects large arteries such as the aorta and its branches Includes both occlusive and aneurysmal disease Occlusive disease is more prevalent in Japan, the United States, and Europe Aneurysmal disease is more common in India, Thailand, Mexico, and Africa The prevalence is higher in women Median age of onset varies from 25 years in Asia and the United States to 41 years in Europe

Takayasu arteritis presenting with subclavian aneurysm
Colvine et al Arthritis & Rheumatism (Add Year )54, 1: 382

The 1990 Criteria for Takayasu Arteritis1
1. Development of symptoms or findings related to Takayasu arteritis at age ≤40 years 2. Development and worsening of fatigue and discomfort in muscles of one or more extremities while in use, especially the upper extremities 3. Decreased pulsation of one or both brachial arteries 4. Difference of >10 mm Hg in systolic blood pressure between arms 5. Bruit audible on auscultation over one or both subclavian arteries or abdominal aorta 6. Arteriographic narrowing or occlusion of the entire aorta, its primary branches, or large arteries in the proximal upper or lower extremities, not due to arteriosclerosis, fibromuscular dysplasia, or similar causes; changes usually focal or segmental A patient shall be said to have Takayasu arteritis if at least three of these six criteria are present. The presence of any three or more criteria yields a sensitivity of 90.5% and a specificity of 97.8%. Arend et al Am College of Rheum 1990; 33 :1129–1134

Subclavian Artery Stenosis: Incidence
Incidence of % 1 Left : Right = 3-4 : 1 ratio The stenosis is usually focal and in the proximal segment of the vessel Predictors: HTN Tobacco use Dyslipidemia Diabetes 1. Perrault et al, Ann Thorac Surgery 1993; 56:

Subclavian Steal Syndrome The vertebral artery steals blood from the posterior cerebral circulation
Stenosis of the subclavian artery or the brachiocephalic trunk proximal to the vertebral artery origin results in low-velocity and/or retrograde flow in the ipsilateral vertebral artery distal to the subclavian artery narrowing Wu C et al. Radiology 2005;235:

Contrast-enhanced MR angiogram reveals lesion (arrow) responsible for subclavian steal syndrome is seen in left subclavian artery Bitar et al Am J Roentg 2004; 183:1840-1

Color MR Angiogram Retrograde flow in the left vertebral artery in a patient with a subclavian steal is shown in blue (arrows), indicating opposite flow direction. Note that the vertebral artery is red (arrowheads), indicating normal flow direction. Aoki et al Am J Neurorad 1998; 19:

Subclavian Steal Syndrome Clinical Manifestations
Arm claudication or hand numbness and a decrease of at least 20 mm Hg in blood pressure in the upper limb on the affected side Cerebral symptoms : dizziness, vertigo, and visual disturbances. In rare cases, cerebral ischemia may be present

C,Angiography of the left subclavian artery in an anterior-posterior projection after stent placement. Vert indicates vertebral artery. Kroll et al Circulation. 2002;105:e184

Subclavian Artery Disease: Diagnosis
Obstruction of the SA is suspected when there is a blood pressure difference > 20mm Hg between the two arms1 If there is a clinical suggestion of vasculitis: an erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) or C-Reactive protein (CRP) should be measured2 Henry et al “Angioplasty and Stenting of the Carotid and Supra-Aortic Trunks” pg Grossmans “Catheterization” 7th Ed. pg

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%) Duplex ultrasonography is also highly useful in clinical follow-up of patients after revascularization procedures Kalaria et al J Am Soc of Echocard 2005, 18:

Normal subclavian artery Duplex waveform
Abnormal subclavian artery duplex waveform showing elevated peak systolic velocity, spectral broadening, and loss of triphasic waveform. Kalaria et al J Am Soc of Echocard 2005, 18:

Noninvasive Diagnostic Modalities Diagnostic Imaging
The diagnostic imaging work-up of patients should include: 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. Henry et al “Angioplasty and Stenting of the Carotid and Supra-Aortic trunks” pg

Coronal image from MR angiography of aortic arch and great vessels demonstrates occlusion (arrow) of the proximal left subclavian artery and a normal-appearing left vertebral artery (arrowhead) that originates from the left subclavian artery. Transverse image from MR angiography of the neck vessels, with a presaturation band placed above the volume of interest, shows normal signal intensity in the common carotid arteries (arrowheads) and right vertebral artery (long arrow). There is no signal in the left vertebral artery (short arrow), a finding that indicates either occlusion or retrograde flow Wu C. et al. Radiology 2005;235:

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. Farina et al Am J Surg 1989; 58:511-14 Burke et al Radiology 1987; 164:

Subclavian Artery Stenosis: PTA

Favorable Predictors Presence of subclavian steal syndrome : it prevents the risk of vertebral embolization 1 Isolatated stenosis Recurrent angina following an internal mammary coronary bypass 2,3 Hennerici et al Neurology 1988; 38: Diethrich et al J Endovasc Surg 1995; 2: 77-80 Marques et al J cardiol 1996; 78:

Subclavian Artery Stenosis: Outcome
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.

Subclavian Artery Stenting: PTA Follow Up
Immediate results (0-30 days) Number at risk 89 Primary patency Restenosis within 30 days Deaths within 30 days Midterm results (> 30 days to <2 years) Number at risk 88 Primary patency Restenosis Deaths Long-term results (> 2 years) Number at risk 75 Primary patency Restenosis Deaths Minimum observation time (months) Maximum observation time (months) Mean observation time (months) ± 30.39 Bates et al Cath Cardiovasc Interv 2003; 61 (1):5-11

Cumulative Patency Cumulative patency was 89% at 40 months (n = 28), which is consistent with current literature. At 72 months, patency was 66% (n = 11); at months, 57% (n = 1). Mean average follow-up time was ± months Bates et al Cath Cardiovasc Interv (1) Pages: 5-11

Patient Survival Time Cumulative patient survival (actual survival time) was 93% at 12 months (n = 65), 88% at 24 months (n = 47), 69% at 85 months (n = 8) and for the remainder of the 9-year follow-up Bates et al Cath Cardiovasc Interv (1) Pages: 5-11

Six months after the two stents were implanted, flow through the subclavian revascularization site is excellent; however, intimal hyperplasia has developed within the vertebral stent, although flow is not significantly hindered Henry et al J endovasc therapy 1999;6 (1): 33-41
