Multimodality Imaging and Endovascular Treatment Options of Subclavian Steal Syndrome

The terms subclavian steal phenomenon and subclavian steal syndrome (SSS) have been coined to describe the presence of retrograde blood flow in one or both vertebral arteries as a consequence of subclavian artery stenosis or occlusion. The former term refers to the characteristic hemodynamic abnormality, while the latter term corresponds to the symptomatic manifestation of the disease with symptoms of dizziness, syncope, and upper extremity claudication [1,2].
