Case report highlights surgical outcomes for recurrent laryngeal nerve compression from giant subclavian artery aneurysm, suggesting effective intervention options.
Abstract Giant subclavian artery aneurysms are relatively uncommon, and the occurrence of symptoms resembling Horner's syndrome due to compression of the sympathetic nerve is even rarer. In such cases, open surgery is associated with more favorable outcomes compared to conventional endovascular treatment. This report introduces a 72-year-old male patient and discusses the characteristics of giant subclavian artery aneurysms and the surgical approaches employed.
