[Endovascular treatment of subclavian arterial aneurysm using stent graft]

The authors describe a clinical case of successful endovascular treatment of subclavian arterial pseudoaneurysm using the stent graft JOSTENT-GRAFT 48 mm in length and 6 mm in diameter in a 49-year-old patient. The aneurysm developed over a length of 2 years as a result of polytrauma without remarkable circulatory disorders in the distal arterial bed of the upper extremity. Further existence of aneurysm was conjugated with a risk of ischemic or neurologic complications. This observation demonstrates the current potential of roentgenoendovascular surgery allowing to successfully replace the technically difficult and traumatic surgical intervention in the event of formation of pseudoaneurysms by the pulsatory hematoma type.
