Abstract:
Subclavian artery aneurysm (SCAA), a peripheral arterial aneurysm, is a rare entity. The surgical procedure and approach depend on the location of the aneurysm. We present a case of the endovascular therapy combined with cross axillary bypass. The patient was a 75-year-old man with a small abdominal aortic aneurysm. Multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) revealed an intrathoracic right SCAA 38 mm in diameter. The operation was performed successfully under general anesthesia. After cross bypass of bilateral axillary artery, the orifice of the right subclavian artery was covered with a stent-graft inserted into the right common carotid artery-brachiocephalic artery and the right subclavian artery was occluded with coils distal to the aneurysm. Post operation angiogram showed complete exclusion of the SCAA and patency of the right common carotid and right vertebral artery. We thought this hybrid treatment for the intrathoracic SCAA could be a useful surgical strategy.
