Endovascular exclusion of subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm

Vascular. 2006 Jul-Aug;14(4):231-5. doi: 10.2310/6670.2006.00040.

Abstract

Subclavian artery pseudoaneurysms are typically a rare occurrence commonly caused by iatrogenic injury and trauma. We describe an endovascular approach employing a brachiofemoral through-wire technique for the treatment of a left subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm in the presence of a hostile aortic arch and great vessel anatomy.
