Abstract

A 57-year-old male presented with a large proximal right subclavian artery aneurysm that had been the source of upper extremity emboli on two occasions. A combined open and endovascular approach was undertaken involving a common carotid to vertebral artery autogenous bypass via a supraclavicular incision and endovascular repair of the aneurysm from a transbrachial approach. The patient did well postoperatively and recovered fully following a short hospitalization.
