Partial subclavian steal.
The phenomenon of subclavian steal syndrome has recently been found to have a subset group that has been described as partial or "pre-steal" in physiology. Our case of a Marine Corps pilot with this partial subclavian steal physiology is reviewed, in addition to the maneuvers we performed to temporarily convert him to complete steal physiology. A discussion of the symptomatology and prognosis of this diagnosis is included, with emphasis on military service.
