Subclavian steal syndrome: is venous-phase angiography meaningful?

Radiology. 1981 Jan;138(1):93-6. doi: 10.1148/radiology.138.1.7455103.

Abstract

Three cases of subclavian steal syndrome are presented, with emphasis on the venous phase following aortic arch injection. Dense opacification of the jugular vein on the involved side was seen, rather than a progressive decrease. In addition, patterns of venous flow in the neck were variable. Venous-phase angiography did not correlate with symptoms.
