Abstract
Surgical repair of a subclavian artery mycotic aneurysm is dependent on aneurysm-specific characteristics and anatomic exposures could require sternotomy, thoracotomy, or supraclavicular incisions. Alternatively, a median claviculectomy can be used. We successfully performed a subclavian artery to axillary artery bypass with median claviculectomy in a 23-year-old man with multiple comorbidities. Postoperative Doppler ultrasound showed a patent left axillary artery with a palpable left radial artery, and the patient demonstrated full left shoulder range of motion without any significant deformities. This case suggests that a median claviculectomy can produce satisfactory outcomes in patients with subclavian artery mycotic aneurysms.
