Abstract:
In this case report about a female patient with a true aneurysm of the left subclavian artery (SAA), the authors would like to present the symptoms, possibilities of diagnostics and management of this rarely appearing pathology. The diagnosis of a randomly found aneurysm in a symptom free patient was confirmed by spiral AGCT. Classical surgical procedure was indicated for the patient. With a combined supra- infraclavicular approach the partial resection of the aneurysm and its revascularization by a ePTFE prosthetic interposition were performed. A histological investigation showed nonspecific changes in the aneurysm wall. Two years after the operation the patient is without any complications and with complete functional vascular reconstruction and optimal limb function.
