<sec><h3>Aim of the study</h3>
<p>The aim of this case report is to evaluate carotid duplex and hemodynamic patterns in an asymptomatic male patient with innominate artery occlusion. Innominate artery occlusion is a rare clinical entity that can lead to a range of cerebrovascular symptoms, including arm claudication, subclavian steal syndrome, and stroke. The case report emphasizes key learning points in diagnosing innominate artery occlusion using imaging and physiological methods.</p>

<sec><h3>Case description</h3>
<p>A 64-year-old asymptomatic male patient with a history of carotid bruit, hypertension, coronary artery bypass grafting, aortic aneurysm, hyperlipidemia, mild aortic stenosis, long-term tobacco use, and a body mass index of 24 was referred for a carotid ultrasound.</p>
</sec>
<sec><h3>Conclusions</h3>
<p>Innominate artery occlusion is a rare condition requiring a comprehensive assessment of collateralization before any intervention is attempted. Considering waveform features such as transient end-diastolic flow reversal and tardus parvus, along with brachial pressures and transcranial Doppler, can assist in evaluating the extent of disease.</p>

Case description
A 64-year-old asymptomatic male patient with a history of carotid bruit, hypertension, coronary artery bypass grafting, aortic aneurysm, hyperlipidemia, mild aortic stenosis, long-term tobacco use, and a body mass index of 24 was referred for a carotid ultrasound.

Considering waveform features such as transient end-diastolic flow reversal and tardus parvus, along with brachial pressures and transcranial Doppler, can assist in evaluating the extent of disease.
