Intrathoracic aneurysms of the innominate and subclavian arteries

Natural history of aneurysmal aortic arch branch vessels in a single tertiary referral center

“…The mean age at presentation was 70 6 14 years (range, 17-93 years). The majority of patients 17) 23 (25) .394…”

Combined Resection of Coronary and Inominate Artery Aneurysms

“…Kieffer et al 6 reported that patients with isolated asymptomatic inominate artery aneurysms should undergo surgery when the aneurysms are saccular or when their maximum transverse diameter is more than 3 cm. Various surgical approaches have been tried and include ligation alone, 7 patch angioplasty, 8 resection with end‐to‐end anastomosis, 9 and bypass with either saphenous vein 10 or prosthetic grafts.…”

Endovascular repair of innominate artery true aneurysm with extra-anatomic revascularization of right carotid and vertebral arteries — A case report

“…Repairs of these lesions has usually been performed via a thoracotomy and has been associated with significant morbidity. Conventional surgical management has been done with bypass grafting through a thoracotomy with various types of open techniques, including atrial femoral pump perfusion [3,8]. Cerebral protection to prevent cerebral emboli is an important part of the management of innominate artery aneurysms.…”

“…Cerebral protection to prevent cerebral emboli is an important part of the management of innominate artery aneurysms. There are multiple sophisticated mechanical methods that have been described in the literature but they have not been found to be always reliable [8][9][10]. Traumatic innominate artery false aneurysms have been repaired by using combined open and endovascular procedures [11][12][13].…”
