Endovascular treatment of a subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm in a patient with a pancoast tumor.

Abstract

Background: The authors report herein a rare case of an endovascular management of a giant subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm, revealed by a massive hemoptysis in a patient suffering from a Pancoast tumor.

Case presentation: The endovascular procedure consisted of covering the subclavian artery rupture site with a stent graft after occluding the proximal segments of the ipsilateral internal thoracic and vertebral arteries.

Conclusion: Subclavian artery rupture was effectively managed using endovascular techniques via radial access.
