A member asked:
Vas.dr, blocked sub clavicle artery, 1 of 4 arteries to brain has reversed blood flow and is trying to supply l arm w/blood. said i need neurosurgeon? what would be the procedure to remedy this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Subclass steal: I specialize in these problems. I would think you need to see vascular surgeon not neurosurgeon. This is called subclavian steal. Suspect you have low BP in that arm. Discuss with your family doctor. Most likely it is your left arm. Give us more details.
