Abstract
Nonaortic aneurysms are rare in the pediatric patient population with axillary artery aneurysms accounting for <5% of these. The most common cause of pediatric nonaortic aneurysm is trauma followed by arterial dysplasia. There are only 14 reported cases of idiopathic true axillary aneurysm in the pediatric patient. We present a rare case of an idiopathic isolated right axillary artery aneurysm in a 13-year-old girl, managed with surgical repair with autogenous venous interposition. A thorough workup should be performed in pediatric patients with peripheral aneurysms to determine the etiology, which may guide the clinical management.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques is a surgical journal dedicated to publishing peer review high quality case reports, vascular images and innovative techniques related to all aspects of arterial, venous, and lymphatic diseases and disorders, including vascular trauma, malformations, wound care and the placement and maintenance of arterio-venous dialysis accesses with an emphasis on the practicing clinician. The Journal seeks to provide novel and timely information to vascular surgeons, interventionalists, phlebologists, wound care specialists, and allied health professionals involved with the management of patients with the entire spectrum of vascular disorders.
