    Abstract:
    Subclavian artery aneurysms (SAAs) are rare but potentially life- and limb-threatening. We present the case of a 69-year-old man with a true right SAA; the vertebral artery branched off the aneurysm and was the dominant one. A hybrid (combined open surgical and endovascular) repair was performed; the vertebral artery was anastomosed end to side to the common carotid artery through a right supraclavicular incision, then using a percutaneous high brachial artery access, a covered stent was deployed to exclude the SSA. The procedure was technically successful, and computed tomography angiography at 24 months showed regular placement of the endograft with blood flow within it and absence of any endograft-related complication (i.e., stent fracture/thrombosis/displacement or any-type detectable endoleak). This hybrid treatment is safe and feasible with good midterm results and may represent a valuable, less invasive alternative to conventional open surgical approaches.
