Any ideas on what suclavian steal syndrome is?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If the origin of a subclavian artery is occluded by atherosclerosis, when the upper extremity is exercised it will need to get its blood from the vessels that supply the brain, very likely causing vascular insufficiency.
