Uncommon cause of dysphagia, shortness of breath and hoarseness: Large subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm

Bol Asoc Med P R. 2016;108(2):11-5.

Abstract

The subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare entity with only few cases re- ported in the literature. Most injuries were related to iatrogenic manipulation with catheters for canalization of central lines in the hospital setting. In rare cases, this injury has been described secondary to a blunt trauma and motor vehicle accidents with traumatic injury to the subclavian artery caused by seatbelt use. We report an unusual case presentation of subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm.
