A Case of Multiple Right Subclavian Arterial Aneurysms with Dysphagia / 日本心臓血管外科学会雑誌

A 61-year-old woman who presented with symptoms of dysphagia was hospitalized after right subclavian artery aneurysm was diagnosed. A selective right subclavian arteriogram revealed the presence of two large subclavian arterial aneurysms. The operative procedure consisted of aneurysmectomy through a right supuraclavian incision followed by the reconstruction of the blood vessel by end-to-end anastomosis of the right subclavian artery. The postoperative course was uneventful. Multiple subclavian artery aneurysms are rare among peripheral aneurysms. This case was found by the symptoms of dysphagia caused by compression of the esophagus. The etiology of this case is unclear, but most likely was due to trauma.
