RESUMO
Internal carotid artery occlusion is the cause of carotid territory transient ischemic attacks or infarction approximately in 15% of patients. Extracranial-lntracranial (EC-IC) Bypass Study and Carotid Occlusion Surgery Study (COSS) failed to show a benefit of EC-IC bypass over medical therapy in patients with symptomatic carotid artery occlusion. Weak sides of COSS were investigators reliance on post hoc analysis, use of specific thresholds in the definition of impaired cerebral hemodynamics and high perioperative morbidity. In selected subset of patients with medically refractory ischemic symptoms, EC-IC bypass, can provide benefit from surgery performed with sufficiently low perioperative morbidity. The potential of functional and cognitive improvement after cerebral revascularization needs further investigation.

Results of surgical treatment of 119 patients with cerebral/coronary blood flow steal syndrome were analyzed. Vertebro-subclavian steal syndrome was registered in 91.5%. 80 patients were treated with the use of endovascular methods, open procedure was performed in 62 cases. Physiological blood flow was successfully reconstructed in 95.8%. Postoperative lethality was 5,1% after open operations, there were no deaths among patients, treated endoscopically. Bypass thrombosis was registered in 3.4% of patients treated by traditional method; restenosis or occlusion occurred after 34.3% of endovascular operations. Endovascular operations should be a method of choice in treatment of patients with severe occlusion of branches of aorta and cerebro-vascular insufficiency. By impossibility of subclavian artery or brachiocephal trunk recanalization with the use of endovascular techniques, open procedure should be performed.

The authors describe an experience gained with successful surgical treatment of a 73-year-old patient with a genuine aneurysm of the autoveinous carotid-subclavian bypass, iwelve years ago the patient was operated on for stenosing atherosclerosis of the coronary and left subclavian arteries (SCA). Aneurysm emergence was consequent on the use of v.saphena magna as a bypass in the given <
