The importance of this syndrome and its underlying pathophysiology was established in a report by Reivich, Holling, Roberts, and Toole later that year (5). These authors described in detail the two cases originally reported by Toole as well as the results of studies of cerebral blood flow in dogs with experimentally induced subclavian artery occlusion.
