Bilateral Subclavian Artery Stenosis: Anaesthetic consideration
Journal Title: Global Journal of Anesthesiology - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Subclavian artery stenosis (SAS) is a relatively rare condition, even more so for its bilateral existence. In a study [1], the prevalence of SAS was 1.9% in the free-living cohorts and 7.1% in the clinical cohorts. SAS was significantly associated with smoking and higher levels of systolic blood pressure. Higher levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were inversely and significantly associated with SAS. In regression analyses relating SAS to other cardiovascular diseases, the only significant finding was with peripheral arterial disease. The presence of this condition leads to erroneously low blood pressure recoded in the ipsilateral brachial artery or radial artery.
