Coronary subclavian steal syndrome causes exertional angina via retrograde LITA flow after CABG.
Demonstrates a classic angiographic presentation of coronary subclavian steal syndrome in a patient with prior CABG experiencing arm exertion-induced angina.
Clinicians should consider subclavian steal in post-CABG patients with arm-exertional angina; leaves open incidence and management data.
A 63-year-old man with a history of CABG presented with a 2-month history of angina during exertion of the left arm. Angiography revealed retrograde flow in the left internal thoracic artery graft (shown in a video).
