However, according to an editorial comment in the ANNALS OF INTERNAL MEDICINE (8), no case of reversal of blood flow of the right carotid artery caused by occlusion of the innominate artery has been described in man, in spite of its experimental production in dogs.We describe here a case that shows clearly a reversal of blood flow...References1.
