Abstract
Subclavian artery aneurysms (SAAs) are historically rare peripheral aneurysm. However, it can be associated with serious life-threatening complications including rupture, thrombosis, and embolism. The majority of such aneurysms are found incidentally. Historically, SAA have been repaired via an open approach. Increasing case reports demonstrate successful management of SAAs with endovascular repair. The present report describes a case of incidentally discovered large proximal saccular subclavian aneurysm with suspected remote traumatic etiology with a successful endovascular repair.
