Excerpt

True subclavian artery aneurysm (SAA) is a rare type of peripheral artery aneurysm. Thoracic outlet syndrome and atherosclerosis are the most common etiological factors [1]. Halsted [2] explained the poststenotic dilatation and the aneurysm development to be a result of turbulent flow near the narrowing and low blood pressure distal to the stenosis. …
