This is one of the first reports of a left subclavian pseudoaneurysm in a patient presenting with massive hemoptysis. We present a challenging case of a patient who consulted for hemoptysis. Imaging revealed a left subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm that caused a pulmonary parenchymal lesion. Treatment with a self-expanding thoracic stent-graft and a subclavian occluder was successful.

Today there is a widespread use of endovascular treatment (EVT) for traumatic vascular injuries in adults, but there is lack of evidence of its use in adolescent patients with vascular injuries. With this case, we present successful EVT of 14-year-old adolescent with a right subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm (SAP) due to war injury. SAP was successfully excluded with deployment of 6×50 mm flexible, self-expanding covered nitinol stent graft (The GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis (W.L. Gore & Associates, Flagstaff, AZ)). Patient was discharged from hospital 2 days after the procedure with dual antiplatelet therapy (clopidogrel and aspirin). 3 months after discharge control DUS showed patent stent graft without any residual lesions. As a result, EVT is an alternative approach to treatment of SAP. It is safe, effective, and less invasive therapy for SAP in adults as well as in adolescents. We aim to contribute to the literature with this first case report.

Purpose: To report successful stent-graft treatment of a mycotic pseudoaneurysm of the left subclavian artery in an immunosuppressed patient. Case Report: A 17-year-old immunosuppressed woman undergoing treatment for recurrent leukemia developed persistent fever and 2 episodes of hemoptysis. A contrast-enhanced computed tomographic (CT) scan demonstrated a saccular aneurysm of the left subclavian artery, which was considered to be a mycotic aneurysm caused by erosive fungal infection from the lung. The pseudoaneurysm was treated with a homemade stent-graft consisting of a nitinol stent and a polyester fabric. A type II endoleak present at the end of the procedure appeared to have sealed spontaneously on the CT scan at 3 days. No neurological deficit or ischemic symptoms of the left arm were noted during the follow-up, which lasted until the patient died 11 months later after rejecting a second bone marrow transplant. Conclusions: Endovascular repair may be an alternative to open surgery for the management of mycotic aneurysms of the subclavian artery.

Purpose: To describe successful endovascular repair of a recurrent vertebral arteriovenous fistula (AVF) after surgical correction. Case Report: A 42-year-old woman presented with recurrent dizziness, nausea, and headaches. A loud bruit in the right neck was present. Central venous catheter insertion had been done 1 year previously, creating an angiographically documented right-sided vertebral AVF that was successfully excluded by a surgical procedure. Four weeks later, the AVF reappeared. Successful endovascular repair with a self-expanding stent-graft was performed. Follow-up over 12 months was uneventful, with a patent vertebral artery and no recurrence of symptoms. Conclusions: Endovascular stent-graft repair is feasible and offers a therapeutic alternative in the treatment of vertebral AVF, in particular for recurrence after initial surgery. This minimally invasive method may become the treatment of choice in the management of such lesions, preserving patency of the vertebral artery.
