Abstract

A carotic-subclavian bypass is an extraanatomical reconstruction. It is one of the possibilities how to connect the ipsilateral common carotid and subclavian artery. The authors evaluate carotic-subclavian bypasses made during the past 11 years at the Second Surgical Clinic in Brno. In all twelve cases carotico-subclavian bypasses were involved, in none of the patients a subclavian-carotid bypass was involved or direct anastomosis. The author discusses in detail preoperative complaints, associated diseases, postoperative complaints. In his opinion absolute indications for surgery are neurological symptomatic affections even of one trunk, incl. subclavian steal syndrome. They indicate asymptomatic affections for surgery if at least two trunks are affected. The greatest pitfall of the operation is in their opinion the selection of the length and type of vascular prosthesis. They find that the interval patency rate 100% and the cumulative patency rate 85% evaluated by the method of "Life table analysis" with a standard error of patency rate of 9% are comparable with similar reports from abroad.
