Abstract

Axillo-axillary bypass grafting is considered the operation of choice for patients with subclavian steal syndrome. Anesthetic management of high-risk patients with coronary-subclavian steal syndrome presents safety and technical challenges. Presently described is case of chronic obstructive lung disease and coronary artery disease in a 52-year-old man who required axillo-axillary bypass surgery to treat stenosis at the origin of left subclavian artery. Successful anesthetic management was achieved for patient undergoing axillary-axillary bypass surgery using a cervical epidural technique.
