AI Article Synopsis
- Arterial agenesis is a rare condition affecting various arteries, including the internal and common carotid arteries, as well as the pulmonary artery, but not previously reported for subclavian arteries.
- A case of a patient with no symptoms was discovered to have bilateral subclavian artery agenesis and an aneurysm in the left subclavian artery.
- Though asymptomatic, the aneurysm was surgically repaired to avoid risks of thrombosis, embolism, and stroke.
Article Abstract
Arterial agenesis is a rare condition and has been reported to affect the internal carotid artery, common carotid artery, and pulmonary artery. However, to the best of our knowledge, it has not yet been reported to affect the subclavian arteries. We present a case of asymptomatic bilateral subclavian artery agenesis and left subclavian artery aneurysm. This patient's abnormal vasculature was found incidentally. Despite being asymptomatic, repair of the aneurysm via vertebral transposition and ligation of the subclavian artery was performed to prevent eventual thrombosis, emboli, and stroke.
