Abstract EN
Today there is a widespread use of endovascular treatment (EVT) for traumatic vascular injuries in adults, but there is lack of evidence of its use in adolescent patients with vascular injuries.
With this case, we present successful EVT of 14-year-old adolescent with a right subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm (SAP) due to war injury.
SAP was successfully excluded with deployment of 6×50 mm flexible, self-expanding covered nitinol stent graft (The GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis (W.L.
Gore & Associates, Flagstaff, AZ)).
Patient was discharged from hospital 2 days after the procedure with dual antiplatelet therapy (clopidogrel and aspirin).
3 months after discharge control DUS showed patent stent graft without any residual lesions.
As a result, EVT is an alternative approach to treatment of SAP.
It is safe, effective, and less invasive therapy for SAP in adults as well as in adolescents.
We aim to contribute to the literature with this first case report.
