The subclavian steal syndrome is a rare, yet well-known phenomenon which presents when a steno-occlusive lesion of the proximal subclavian artery results in the flow reversal of the vertebral artery, giving rise to vertebrobasilar sufficiency. A 50-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with complaints of the left arm coldness and pain on exertion. Physical examination revealed a cold, pale and pulseless left arm. We performed carotico-subclavian bypass with a 6 mm ringed polytetrafluoroethylene graft. Postoperative radial and ulnar pulses were palpable and his complaints resolved.
