title: Urgent endovascular treatment of proximal right subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm using kissing technique.
abstract: A 50-year old man, sustained a blunt force injury to the chest during an engineering accident, underwent urgent endovascular angioplasty to treat proximal right subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm (RSAP) with a hostile neck in our hospital. Six-month follow-up showed that there was sufficient right carotid artery and right subclavian artery infusion, and the kissing stents were patent. The results show the safety and efficacy of kissing stent technique for RSAP in emergency patients who has no sufficient proximal fixation zone.
