AI Article Synopsis
- Aneurysms of the subclavian artery are uncommon but can lead to serious complications, including threats to limb and life.
- Delayed diagnosis can worsen outcomes, making it crucial for primary care providers to screen for these aneurysms, especially in patients with recent clavicle trauma and vascular symptoms.
- The case of a left subclavian artery aneurysm, complicated by radial artery thrombus after clavicle injury, highlights the need for a two-stage surgical approach and emphasizes the importance of early detection in primary care.
Article Abstract
Aneurysms of the subclavian artery are rare phenomena that have the potential for limb and life-threatening complications. Delayed diagnosis increases the risk of life-threatening complications or at the very least may result in a detrimental effect to both functional capacity and quality of life; primary care offers a vital opportunity to screen for such rare vascular complications and should be a consideration in all patients with evolving peripheral nerve or vascular symptoms with a history of localized clavicular trauma. We present the case of a left subclavian artery aneurysm with radial artery thrombotic sequelae following an injury and screw-plate fixation of his left clavicle. This required a 2-stage surgical approach to treatment and provides useful learning considerations for identifying rare vascular anomalies early in a primary care setting.

Objectives: Mal-deployment of the thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) stent graft during a frozen elephant trunk (FET) procedure for an acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) leads to devastating complications. We report a hemiarch replacement with TEVAR stent graft covering the aortic arch vessels salvaged through an endovascular approach.
Methods: A 69-year-old man with ATAAD in 2018, status post-hemiarch repair with TEVAR, presented in 2023 with progressive dizziness/syncope and lower extremity hypertension with inability to tolerate anti-hypertensives.

Managing an adult patient with aortic coarctation and associated anomalies presents a significant surgical challenge. We present a case of an adult male with aortic coarctation, pre-coarctation distal arch 7-cm aneurysm involving the origin of the left subclavian artery, and aberrant (lusoria) right subclavian artery. He was managed with one surgical approach, consisting of right carotid-subclavian bypass, exclusion of the right subclavian artery, proximal descending aortic replacement and reinsertion of left subclavian artery, using partial cardiopulmonary bypass.

Background: Free functional muscle transfer (FFMT) for brachial plexus injury (BPI) requires adequate donor arterial flow for successful anastomosis. However, concomitant BPI and subclavian artery injury are not uncommon. Arteriovenous (AV) loop graft is one of the methods used to extend vessels to areas with vascular depletion.

Angioplasty and stenting of brachiocephalic artery stenosis can be complicated by ischemic stroke, local hematoma, thromboses, or dissection of access vessels. However, hemodynamic instability has not been reported as a complication of this treatment. We report the case of an 83-year-old man who developed hypotension and bradycardia after brachiocephalic artery stenting.
