Our graft choice for surgical treatment of true aneurysms of subclavian and axillary arteries

چکیده
Results One patient with subclavian artery aneurysm underwent resection of the aneurysm and subclavian-axillary bypass surgery with brachial embolectomy using a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft; whereas the other patient underwent resection of the aneurysm and subclavian-axillary bypass surgery with saphenous vein graft. In addition to resection of the aneurysm, three out of 6 patients with axillary artery aneurysm underwent saphenous vein graft interposition and remaining 3 underwent PTFE graft interposition. Moreover, one patient with acute ischemia underwent an additional brachial embolectomy.

Our incision types of choice for surgical treatment of true aneurysms of subclavian and axillary arteries
Background Subclavian and axillary arteries true aneurysms are rarely seen. The best incision for surgical approach is median sternotomy for intrathoracic right subclavian artery aneurysm, left thoracotomy for intrathoracic left subclavian artery aneurysm and supraclavicular incision for extrathoracic ones. Many surgeons approaches as subclavicular incision, subclavicular incision extending to ...

Results All the patients underwent selective peripheral arteriography, colored Doppler ultrasound and contrasted thoracoabdominal computed tomography (CT). All the patients were operated on under general anesthesia. Subclavicular approach was preferred except for the case operated on for pseudoaneurysm repair.

متن کاملEndovascular Repair of Intra-thoracic Left Subclavian Artery Aneurysm with a Stent Graft
True aneurysms of the intra-thoracic portion of the subclavian artery are rare, comprising 3.5% of all peripheral aneurysms and the presence of associated aneurysms has been reported in as many as 46% of patients. The morbidity and mortality from standard surgical treatment is relatively high. Transluminal implantation of a covered stent graft has been reported as a feasible and safe procedure ...
