Abstract:
Subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm that induced from central venous catheterization through the internal jugular vein is relatively uncommon. However, the management of subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm remains a challenge because of their non-compressibility of deep locality and relationship to important surrounding anatomy, such as the origin of vertebral artery. In this paper, the authors report a patient with larger iatrogenic subclavian arterial pseudoaneurysm near the origin of vertebral artery, that was treated successfully by endovascular covered stent and coils.
