The coexistence of subclavian steal syndrome and aberrant right subclavian artery is a very rare condition. Herein, we report a case of a 73-year-old male patient with subclavian steal syndrome who underwent carotid-subclavian bypass surgery. A single supraclavicular incision was made and carotid-subclavian bypass operation was performed using a Dacron graft in the patient. The patient was asymptomatic at the three-month follow-up with no complications. Carotid-subclavian bypass appears to be the most effective method in treating symptomatic cases of subclavian steal syndrome with an aberrant right subclavian artery.
