The study included a total of 110 patients presenting with stenoses of the first portion of the subclavian artery (SCA). Group One comprised 55 (50%) patients subjected to carotid-subclavian bypass grafting. The degree of stenosis varied from 65 to 95% (p>0.05), occlusion of the SCA was found in 28 (p0.05) patients. Concomitant cardiac pathology was observed in 30 (55%) patients, with one (2%) patient having a history of stroke. Group Two was composed of 55 (50%) patients undergoing endovascular interventions. The degree of stenosis varied from 65 to 95%, with eight patients having occlusion of the SCA. Permanent steal syndrome was observed in 36 patients. Accompanying cardiac pathology was noted in 28 (51%) patients, with eight (15%) patients having a history of stroke (p
