Subclavian artery aneurysms (SAAs) are historically rare peripheral aneurysm. However, it can be associated with serious life-threatening complications including rupture, thrombosis, and embolism. The majority of such aneurysms are found incidentally. Historically, SAA have been repaired via an open approach. Increasing case reports demonstrate successful management of SAAs with endovascular repair. The present report describes a case of incidentally discovered large proximal saccular subclavian aneurysm with suspected remote traumatic etiology with a successful endovascular repair.

Purpose: To report 2 cases of proximal subclavian artery aneurysm treated with carotid-subclavian bypass and coil embolization. Case Reports: A subclavian artery aneurysm was discovered incidentally during presurgical coronary angiography in 2 men (72 and 63 years of age). Both patients underwent planned carotid endarterectomy, during which a carotid-subclavian bypass was created with a Dacron graft; the distal subclavian artery was also ligated. The aneurysm was completely excluded from the circulation by coil embolization in a separate procedure. The patients were discharged after 3 days with no adverse events. Magnetic resonance angiography at 6 months showed continued aneurysm exclusion in both cases. The patients continue to be well >1 year after treatment. Conclusions: Embolization with supraclavicular bypass represents a viable alternative to traditional thoracotomy and subclavian artery reconstruction for treatment of subclavian artery aneurysms.
