“…9 Therefore, good control of the aortitis syndrome seems to be essential for long-term graft patency after this operation. 3,10 The incidence of inflammation is reportedly lower for the iliac artery and femoral artery than for the aorta.…”

A 24-year-old Japanese woman underwent ilioaxillary bypass with an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene graft and axillocarotid bypass with an autologous saphenous vein graft for severe brain ischemia due to Takayasu arteritis. A method that involved wrapping strips of the graft around the artery was used to prevent stretching of the anastomotic site. Her general condition and symptoms improved remarkably. She became pregnant three times and delivered the infants without any complications caused by the operation. The present case contributes to proof of patency, effectiveness, and durability of these bypass grafts.

“…In about 5% of individuals, the left vertebral artery originates directly from the aortic arch between the left common carotid and left subclavian arteries [3]. Obstruction of the left subclavian artery proximal to the left vertebral artery may cause subclavian steal syndrome due to retrograde flow (steal) from the brain circulation to the left vertebral artery [4,5]. The lack of subclavian steal syndrome in our patient despite obstruction of the left subclavian artery can be explained by the presence of anomalous origin of the left vertebral artery, which is located far proximal to the left subclavian artery obstruction.…”
