Define vascular steal syndromes as distinct clinical entities resulting from preferential shunting of blood away from a target circulation resulting in clinical symptoms.
Highlight imaging features and endovascular management of steal syndromes with a brief comment on surgical management.
Intended for radiology residents, fellows and practicing radiologists, this exhibit aims to create awareness and highlight treatment options for vascular steal syndromes.
