Covered stent application of a repeatedly regrowing iatrogenic subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm at the origin of the vertebral artery.
Formation of an iatrogenic subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm while attempting central venous access through the internal jugular vein is relatively uncommon. However, management of a subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm remains a challenge because of its growing tendency and its relation to the origin of the vertebral artery (VA). We report a strategy for using a covered stent as for the endovascular treatment of a patient with a repeatedly regrowing subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm at the origin of the VA.
