Simultaneous Hybrid Treatment of Aneurysmal Aberrant Right Subclavian Artery

Abstract

We review the literature and report our experience on the simultaneous hybrid treatment (open and endovascular) of two symptomatic aneurysms of an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA). At follow-up (four years and one year, respectively) both patients were alive and free of symptoms. Hybrid treatment of an aneurysmal ARSA is a safe and effective procedure. However, a larger series of patients with long-term follow-up is necessary to determine the role of this technique.

Endovascular repair of subclavian artery aneurysms: results from a single-center experience

“…Traditional surgery can be performed through a sternotomy or thoracotomy or via the supraclavicular approach, depending on its etiology, location and size. 8 The endovascular stent graft procedure is a viable option for SAAs in patients at prohibitive high risk for open surgical treatment and endovascular therapy is a treatment with a high success rate, low recurrences rate and few complications. 9 Computed tomographic angiography(CTA) was used to evaluate the actual size of the aneurismal sac because it is more precise than angiography when thrombosis exists.…”
