Endovascular repair of a symptomatic subclavian artery aneurysm in a patient with Marfan syndrome: a case report

Vasc Endovascular Surg. 2006 Oct-Nov;40(5):409-13. doi: 10.1177/1538574406293764.

Abstract

Endovascular techniques are being employed with increasing frequency in the management of peripheral arterial aneurysms. A 57-year-old patient with Marfan syndrome presented with a symptomatic 5 cm left subclavian artery aneurysm. He underwent successful endovascular exclusion of the aneurysm with immediate improvement of his symptoms. Duplex ultrasound 3 months after the procedure confirmed a patent graft and complete exclusion of the aneurysm.
