AIM: To present own experience of subclavian-carotid replacement for chronic cerebrovascular insufficiency management. MATERIAL AND METHODS: For 12 years 7 subclavian-carotid reconstructions were performed that was 1.2% of all carotid repairs during this period. Great saphenous vein was always used as a graft. Carotid endarterectomy from proximal internal carotid artery was additionally performed if it was necessary. Patients had severe advanced lesion of supra-aortic vessels including bilateral carotid lesion and significant stenosis of ipsilateral proximal common carotid artery. The vast majority of them had cerebrovascular insufficiency grade 3-4. RESULTS: All patients underwent surgery without significant complications despite initially severe state due to advanced lesion of brachiocephalic arteries. Long-term postoperative patency of the grafts was satisfactory within the period from 12 years to 1.5 months. There were no neurological impairment and stroke. CONCLUSION: Subclavian-carotid grafting is an effective alternative for carotid endarterectomy in patients with advanced atherosclerotic lesion of common and internal carotid arteries.
