A unique hybrid approach to the treatment of an aberrant right subclavian artery aneurysm

Vasc Endovascular Surg. 2013 Feb;47(2):128-30. doi: 10.1177/1538574412465972. Epub 2012 Nov 8.

Abstract

Aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) is an uncommon congenital anomaly that often becomes aneurysmal. The ARSAs are often asymptomatic but aneurysms arising in this location are potentially lethal. Due to the high morbidity and mortality rates associated with the traditional open repair methods, less invasive endovascular methods are becoming more popular. This is a case describing a unique hybrid repair of an aneurysmal ARSA in an asymptomatic male.
