Massive hemoptysis caused by a ruptured subclavian artery aneurysm.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of left subclavian artery aneurysm, which ruptured and penetrated through the left upper lung parenchyma causing massive hemoptysis and a left hemothorax. Through sternothoracotomy, tangential aneurysmorrhaphy under proximal control and left upper pulmonary lobectomy were performed. The patient is doing well after nearly three years of follow-up.

Successful Treatment of a Ruptured Subclavian Artery Aneurysm Presenting as Hemoptysis with a Covered Stent
An aneurysm of the subclavian artery is rare. Recently, we experienced a case of a ruptured subclavian artery aneurysm presenting as hemoptysis. The patient had experienced atypical chest discomfort, and computed tomography (CT) revealed a small aneurysm of the left subclavian artery (SCA). Hemoptysis occurred 2 weeks later. Follow-up CT showed a ruptured aneurysm at the proximal left SCA. Endo...
متن کاملFatal right spontaneous haemothorax in Von Recklinghausen's disease.
Spontaneous massive haemothorax is uncommon and usually occurs as a result of pulmonary infarction, arteriovenous fistula, neoplasm, ruptured aortic aneurysm, rupture of pleural adhesions or pleural endometriosis. Massive haemothorax in Von Recklinghausen's disease occurs rarely but with potentially fatal results in spite of surgery. We present a case of a spontaneous massive exsanguinating hae...
متن کاملStent Graft Repair of a Ruptured Aberrant Right Subclavian Artery after Open Repair
An aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) arising from the proximal portion of the descending thoracic aorta is the most common congenital anomaly of the aortic arch. This irregularity occurs in 0.51% of the population. Degenerative aneurysmal changes may occur in the proximal portion of an ARSA or at its aortic origin. This abnormal vessel passes posterior to the esophagus, and, in rare cases...
متن کاملEndovascular repair of a life-threatening radiation-induced ruptured false aneurysm of the intrathoracic left subclavian artery: case report
Massive hemorrhage in tracheostomy patients is generally described as a result of a tracheoinnominate artery fistula. Other etiologies for rupture of a false aneurysm are rare. The classical procedure for subclavian artery aneurysm is open surgery. Endovascular techniques have been accepted by several authors as a possible minimally invasive alternative. We report a life-threatening radiation-i...
متن کاملSuccessful Treatment of a Ruptured Aortic Arch Aneurysm Using a Hybrid Procedure
Aortic rupture has a high mortality rate and can be considered a medical emergency. The standard treatment for aortic rupture is surgical repair. An aortic stent graft for a ruptured descending aorta is considered an effective alternative treatment. However, an aortic stent graft is difficult when the aortic aneurysm is in the aortic arch due to supra-aortic vessels. We report on a patient with...
