Abstract

Aneurysms of the intrathoracic subclavian artery are extremely rare. A 51 year old man was referred to our hospital with symptoms of chest pain, left neck pain and back pain. Abnormal chest X-ray film suspects aortic aneurysm; Doppler ultra sound shows left subclavian artery aneurysm; and contrast computed tomography revealed an intrathoracic left subclavian artery aneurysm. Via median sternotomy, the aneurysm was exposed under systemic medium hypothermia and the supporting of cardiopulmonary bypass. The distal arch, left subclavian, the proximal descending aorta were replaced with a 20mm single-branched 8mm graft. The purpose of this report is present the best incision that exposure clearly surgical view and the best surgical strategy.
