Abstract

We present a rare case of a 10-cm right subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm, with slow growth over 4 years after a traumatic fracture of the right clavicle. The patient had multiple prior endovascular attempts of embolization and stenting at other hospitals; despite this the pseudoaneurysm continued to grow and caused mass effect and neurologic symptoms. We present our open approach for the repair and a review of literature.
