We present a case report of a 20-year-old male who suffered a stab injury to the left supraclavicular region, resulting in the formation of a pseudoaneurysm of the left subclavian artery. Initial endovascular management with a self-expandable covered stent graft showed promising results, but recurrence with proximal and distal end leaks necessitated further intervention. The patient's financial constraints delayed subsequent treatment, leading to worsening symptoms, including left upper limb paraparesis. Facing technical challenges due to the large size of the aneurysm and proximity to the vertebral artery, a vertebral artery confluence was performed, followed by a longer stent-graft placement to address the pseudoaneurysm successfully. This case highlights the potential advantages of endovascular approaches in complex subclavian artery injuries and emphasizes the importance of timely intervention to avoid complications and improve patient outcomes.
