Abstract
The incidence of subclavian artery aneurysm is very low. We have recently performed surgical repair of three cases of this aneurysm: in a 10-year-old boy, a 26-year-old woman and a 49-year-old man. Surgical repair was undertaken with the resection of aneurysm. The subclavian artery reconstructions were performed with end-to-end anastomosis (in two cases) and replacement with a double velour dacron graft (in one). The postoperative courses were uneventful. The incidence, diagnosis, pathogenesis and operative procedure for subclavian artery aneurysm are discussed.
