The authors summarize herein their experience gained in surgical management of twenty-nine patients suffering from multiple lesions of the brachiocephalic arteries. Depending on the pattern of vascular lesions, the patients were subjected either to simultaneous correction of stenosis of the internal carotid and subclavian arteries on the ipsilateral side or to stagewise intervention in the presence of contralateral stenosis of the carotid artery. Surgical policy and stages of simultaneous intervention are described in detail.

KEY WORDS: brachiocephalic arteries, internal carotid artery, subclavian artery, subclavian-vertebral steal syndrome.
