Abstract
Subclavian artery aneurysm secondary to thoracic outlet syndrome is a rare but serious complication. That can lead to amputation due to distal embolisation and propagating thrombus. it must be treated surgically. We performed ex cision of the cervical rib, resection of the aneursym and politetraflourethilene (PTFE) graft interposition to a 41 years old man via supra-infraclavicular combined access. Here we present the case with a successful result.
