Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg. 2019 Jun 1;28(6):989-991. doi: 10.1093/icvts/ivy324.

Abstract

Thoracic venous aneurysms are rare, with the fusiform superior vena cava being the most commonly reported. Isolated innominate vein aneurysms are extremely rare. Herein, we report the case of a saccular left innominate vein aneurysm with an intraluminal thrombus treated with surgical excision and simple reconstruction of the innominate vein.
