ENDOVASCULAR TREATMENT OF POST-TRAUMATIC PSEUDO-ANEURYSM OF RIGHT SUBCLAVIAN ARTERY (CASE REPORT)
Introduction: pseudo-aneurysm of subclavian artery is a rare pathology and most often develops due to trauma or iatrogenic causes. Despite the rarity of this pathology, it can be accompanied by the risk of lethal rupture or distal embolism. Article presents a case report of endovascular treatment of post-traumatic pseudo-aneurysm of right subclavian artery with a stent-graft. Aim: was to demonstrate advantages of endovascular treatment of pseudo-aneurysms, based on case report of patient with post-traumatic pseudo-aneurysm of right subclavian artery. Material and methods: a case report of a patient with post-traumatic pseudo-aneurysm of right subclavian artery, polytrauma and pulmonary embolism is presented. Results: successful endovascular treatment of pseudo-aneurysm of right subclavian artery with the implantation of stent-graft was performed. Postoperative period was uneventful, and the patient was discharged with improved health. Conclusions: endovascular treatment is the preferred method, due to its less invasiveness and lower complication frequency in comparison with open surgery.
