[Subclavian and innominate steal syndrome (our experience with 29 patients)].

Subclavian steal syndrome and innominate steal syndrome are well-known reasons of cerebral vascular insufficiency. Today this pathology can be corrected by extra-anatomic by-passes. In our experience in recent years (1980-1986) these by-pass (in our patients carotid-subclavian and subclavian-subclavian by-pass) gave very good outcomes. These are simple and poor-risk operations. Their patent after many years is very good.
