Abstract
This case report describes the successful surgical resection of a massive right subclavian artery aneurysm in a 76-year-old male. Preoperative imaging revealed a 46-mm saccular aneurysm with no evidence of other aneurysms. Surgical access was facilitated via a right supraclavicular incision, which was extended with a partial upper sternotomy. After successful resection of the aneurysm, a direct end-to-end anastomosis was performed. Subclavian artery aneurysms are a relatively uncommon subtype of peripheral artery aneurysms, necessitating individualized surgical strategies based on their location.
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.
