Extrathoracic revascularization has become the most popular form of surgical treatment of symptomatic subclavian disease. Despite the many theoretical advantages, subclavian-carotid transposition (SCT) has not gained wide popularity. During a 15-year period, 46 patients underwent carotid-subclavian bypass (CSB) or SCT for symptoms referable to occlusion of the subclavian artery. Follow-up ranged from 2 to 148 months (mean, 46.9 months). Seven-year actuarial patency rate was 100% for SCT and 86% +/- 7% for CSB (p = NS). Mean operative time and intraoperative blood loss were significantly reduced for SCT (p less than 0.05). After CSB a continuous deterioration of the hemodynamic status of the reconstruction was noted, whereas there were no significant changes after SCT (p less than 0.05). Whenever feasible, SCT should be considered the operation of choice for patients with symptomatic severe subclavian artery disease.
