Abstract
Complete anatomical repair of the ARSA aneurysm could be performed through the combination of the supraclavicular approach and the left posterolateral thoracotomy, with excellent results. Exclusion of the ARSA aneurysm without revascularization resulted in a suboptimal outcome. Surgical results of simple closure of the ARSA followed by revascularization were uneventful, but the ARSA aneurysm was left as a blind sack.
