Abstract
We here report a case of a 52-year-old man who underwent simultaneous bypass grafting surgery on his carotid–axillary arteries bilaterally (axillary–carotid and carotid–axillary bypasses) after a failed endovascular treatment. This has rarely been reported. Imaging follow-up at 5 days showed bypass graft patency, and he developed no complications. At 1-month follow-up, the patient had no discomfort or recurrence of vertigo and ataxia and his blood pressure was steady and normal bilaterally. The results in this patient indicate that axillary–carotid and carotid–axillary bypasses using expanded polytetrafluoroethylene grafts are a safe and valuable techniques for revascularizing common carotid artery and subclavian artery occlusive diseases, achieving patency and freedom from stroke in the short term. Long-term outcomes are yet to be determined.
