Staged Coil Embolisation for the Management of Persistent Aneurysmal Right Subclavian Artery

Abstract

A 70-year-old patient, who had previously undergone open surgical repair of an aneurysmal aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA), presented with recurrent symptoms and reperfusion of the aneurysm at the site of proximal ligation. This was successfully treated by a staged endovascular procedure.

Key words

aneurysm - artery/arteries (includes all peripheral arteries) - endovascular procedures/stents - except PCI
