  • Title: Subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm successful exclusion with a covered self-expanding stent.
    Author: Hernandez JA, Pershad A, Laufer N.
    Journal: J Invasive Cardiol; 2002 May; 14(5):278-9. PubMed ID: 11983952.
    Abstract:
    Subclavian pseudoaneurysms are rare clinical entities occurring most commonly after iatrogenic injury to the subclavian artery. The management of subclavian pseudoaneurysms remains a challenge because of their non-compressibility and close proximity to vital intra-thoracic structures. Until recently, the treatment of choice was surgical intervention. In this case report, an iatrogenic subclavian pseudoaneurysm was successfully managed using a covered, self-expanding stent after an uncovered stent was unsuccessful in sealing the pseudoaneurysm.
