Purpose: To describe a combined endovascular and surgical approach for an embolizing subclavian artery aneurysm as an alternative to conventional reconstructive surgery. Methods and Results: A 39-year-old woman presented with a post-traumatic aneurysm of the left subclavian artery and occlusion of the brachial artery due to embolization. Exclusion of the aneurysm was achieved by intraoperative implantation of a covered stent during simultaneous reconstruction of the brachial artery by a venous bypass graft. The patient is well and free of symptoms 24 months after the operation. Conclusions: Repeat operative trauma to the supraclavicular region was avoided by transluminal implantation of a covered stent-graft in combination with an axilloulnar bypass procedure for chronic embolic occlusion of the brachial artery.

Introduction: We present a case of a 70-year-old patient who underwent successful two-stage repair of an intrathoracic left subclavian artery aneurysm (SAA) and who had previously undergone CABG. Case presentation: The patient had previously undergone three-vessel coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) repair with the use of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) to the left anterior descending artery (LAD). Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was performed as a backup option in case of potential intra-operative LIMA-LAD bypass occlusion. Owing to the impossibility of hybrid repair due to a short proximal landing zone and aortic arch anomaly (bovine type), the vascular surgery review board decided to perform two-stage open surgery. Firstly, the patient underwent a left carotid-subclavian (C-S) bypass with the Dacron graft, with the application of the standard supraclavicular approach. After a few days, the second procedure, through the left posterolateral thoracotomy was performed. The left subclavian artery (SA) was ligated distally to the SAA but proximally to the origin of the LIMA. The distal aortic arch at the site of the left SAA was clamped partially and the aneurysm was excised. The defect of the aortic arch was sutured and reinforced with a felt patch. Postoperatively, the patient had a good recovery, without any signs of myocardial injury or any surgery-related issues. Conclusion: Careful planning and two-stage open surgical treatment of the left SAA, first with a left carotid-subclavian bypass, followed by aneurysm exclusion and suture of the outer aortic arch curvature may be a treatment option for patients not amenable to hybrid treatment.

Arterial thoracic outlet syndrome is relatively rare and often exclusively seen in the presence of bony anomalies. High-altitude (HA) travel is commonly associated with thrombosis; however, arterial thromboembolism is less frequently described. We describe a case of a young man with undiagnosed bilateral cervical rib, who went for an HA trek, subsequent to which developed acute limb ischaemia of right arm. Diagnostic workup revealed a subclavian artery aneurysm as well along with complete bony bilateral cervical ribs. Thoracic outlet syndrome should be kept as a differential diagnosis in a case of acute limb ischaemia in a healthy adult.
