Abstract
Subclavian steal-carotid recovery phenomenon appears to be related to the occlusion of the truncus brachiocephalicus and can be a rare cause of neurological deficit. In this syndrome, the right common carotid artery and right subclavian artery are filled with retrograde flow from the ipsilateral vertebral artery.
We present a patient with this type of steal syndrome managed by a classical surgical procedure for stent reocclusion in the truncus brachiocephalicus.
