Right subclavian artery aneurysms are rare vascular anomalies that can present significant diagnostic and management challenges, especially in elderly patients. We present a case of a 72-year-old female who presented with sudden onset chest pain and was diagnosed with an unruptured right subclavian artery aneurysm with partial thrombus formation. Advanced imaging, including chest X-ray and contrast-enhanced CT scan, confirmed the diagnosis and guided a successful endovascular repair, stabilizing the patient. Follow-up care included regular clinical assessments and imaging studies to monitor the aneurysm's status and detect potential complications. This case underscores the critical role of early radiological diagnosis and prompt intervention in managing subclavian artery aneurysms, highlighting the effectiveness of endovascular techniques in such cases.
