Subclavian Artery Transposition/Bypass is a procedure used to eliminate blockage in the subclavian arteries, which are the primary suppliers of blood to the arms. The sublclavian arteries branch off of the vertebral arteries, located at the base of the neck, which deliver oxygenated blood to the brain. Heritage Valley Health System’s surgeons eliminate the blockage in these arteries to eliminate the symptoms of pain, dizziness and fatigue.
