Key result
Hybrid TEVAR and direct supraclavicular ligation successfully excludes a 31 mm left subclavian artery aneurysm.
Why the study?
Subclavian artery aneurysms are rare and challenging to treat due to their anatomical location and proximity to critical branches, including the vertebral artery.
Population
One 78-year-old man with a left subclavian artery aneurysm

Hybrid repair feasible in single subclavian aneurysm case; leaves open durability, safety, and generalizability.
Case Report (n=1)
A hybrid endovascular and open surgical approach can successfully and safely exclude complex left subclavian artery aneurysms while avoiding highly invasive open surgery.
Mukasa et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Left subclavian artery aneurysm (n=1). Hybrid endovascular and open approach was evaluated on Aneurysm exclusion. A hybrid approach combining thoracic endovascular aortic repair and direct supraclavicular ligation successfully excluded a 31 mm left subclavian artery aneurysm.
