Patients with severe ischemic symptoms that fail to respond to steroid therapy, despite a dramatic and continuous drop in the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, may require arterial bypass surgery to overcome arterial ischemia caused by arteritis. We report the case of a patient with bilateral subclavian artery occlusion secondary to giant cell arteritis who responded well to steroid therapy and arterial reconstructive surgery. The patient has remained well for five years.
