Endovascular Treatment of a Mycotic Subclavian Artery Aneurysm Using Stent-graft

Endovascular management of spontaneous axillary artery aneurysm: a case report and review of the literature

“…Most can be treated effectively with surgical excision and vascular grafting. The management of select aneurysms using stent grafts has become more prevalent with the developing endoluminal technology [8-11]. It can be an effective and less invasive alternative to the standard surgical reconstruction, but only a few cases have been described in the literature with respect to axillary artery aneurysms.…”

Endovascular Repair of Three Concurrent Mycotic Pseudoaneurysms

“…There have been case reports of open repair, endovascular repair with stent graft, and endovascular coiling. 6,8 –10 The location of the aneurysm in our case was at the origin of the subclavian artery, and it was determined that the patient was not suitable for sternotomy. Due to the proximity to the innominate artery, there was no proximal landing zone for endovascular stent graft placement without covering the origin of the right carotid artery.…”

“…1,4 Popliteal artery MA are less common, and only few cases of true subclavian artery MA have been reported. [5][6][7][8][9][10] The most common causative organisms are Salmonella, S aureus, and Streptococcus species. [2][3][4]11 Nonsurgical treatment with antibiotics often brings higher mortality due to persistent sepsis and rupture of the aneurysm compared to surgical repair.…”

Open repair of a proximal left subclavian artery mycotic aneurysm with median claviculectomy

“…Subclavian artery aneurysms are rare, accounting for <0.15% of all aneurysms. 7 , 8 Several etiologies contribute to the formation of subclavian artery aneurysms; however, they can be divided into two major categories: noninfectious and infectious (mycotic). 7 Endocarditis, drug abuse, septicemia, poorly controlled soft tissue infection, and an immunocompromised state can lead to the formation of a mycotic aneurysm.…”
