Coronary subclavian steal syndrome is characterized by reverse flow of the left internal mammary artery used in the coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The stenosis in the proximal segment of the left subclavian artery is the reason which consequently leads to disruption of myocardial perfusion. It may cause myocardial infarction with variety of anginal symptoms in patients. In this article, we present a case who had symptoms of dyspnea and angina pectoris after CABG and was diagnosed with subclavian steal syndrome. In conclusion, physical examination and angiographic evaluation for subclavian artery stenosis in the preoperative period is recommended in patients who are scheduled for CABG.
