Endovascular treatment of the subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm: Two case reports
Abstract
Endovascular treatment is widely used for treating the subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm (SAP) because of its small trauma, fast recovery, exact effect, and low incidence of complications. However, when the systemic disease or infection that causes SAP is in the active phase, treatment of the primary disease is more critical. Surgical intervention should be performed after systemic symptoms have been controlled unless the situation is particularly critical. We introduced two cases of SAP caused by brucellosis and Behcet's disease and discussed the course of treatment.
