“…Subclavian steal phenomenon causes retrograde flow in a vertebral artery as a result of stenosis or occlusion of the subclavian artery before it gives off the vertebral artery. This finding is similar to past case reports (3,6,9) , where subclavian steal phenomenon was found resulting from innominate artery occlusion. Şeker et al (2016) report- ed the case of a 50-year-old male with complaints of repeated syncope episodes, dizziness when tilting his head back, and numbness in the right upper arm while working (3) .…”

“…Occlusive lesions in the innominate artery are relatively rare clinical entities that can lead to a wide range of cerebrovascular symptoms such as arm claudication, subclavian steal syndrome, and stroke ( 1 , 2 , 3 ) . Innominate artery occlusions can result in the diversion of blood flow, leading to the siphoning of blood from the contralateral vertebral artery into the subclavian artery and decreased blood flow in the right common carotid artery (RCCA) ( 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ) . Marginal cerebral circulation as a result of compensatory blood flow diversion can lead to ischemic episodes, particularly when exercise stress is afflicted on the right arm ( 1 , 5 , 6 ) .…”

asymptomatic male patient with innominate artery occlusion. Innominate artery occlusion is a rare clinical entity that can lead to a range of cerebrovascular symptoms, including arm claudication, subclavian steal syndrome, and stroke. The case report emphasizes key learning points in diagnosing innominate artery occlusion using imaging and physiological methods. Case description: A 64-year-old asymptomatic male patient with a history of carotid bruit, hypertension, coronary artery bypass grafting, aortic aneurysm, hyperlipidemia, mild aortic stenosis, long-term tobacco use, and a body mass index of 24 was referred for a carotid ultrasound. Conclusions: Innominate artery occlusion is a rare condition requiring a comprehensive assessment of collateralization before any intervention is attempted. Considering waveform features such as transient end-diastolic flow reversal and tardus parvus, along with brachial pressures and transcranial Doppler, can assist in evaluating the extent of disease.
