  • Title: Coarctation of the aorta associated with aneurysm of the left subclavian artery.
    Author: Hiller N, Verstanding A, Simanovsky N.
    Journal: Br J Radiol; 2004 Apr; 77(916):335-7. PubMed ID: 15107326.
    Abstract:
    Coarctation of the thoracic aorta is not often diagnosed after childhood. The combination of subclavian artery aneurysm in association with coarctation of the aorta is even less frequent. A review of the literature elicited only seven previously reported cases of such an association. Presented herein is a case of a young adult with coarctation of the aorta and secondary left subclavian artery aneurysm, diagnosed incidentally. We discuss the incidence of these rare conditions and possible causes for their co-existence.
