Abstracts

EN

The study presented a case of a 64-year-old woman with symptomatic aneurysm of the left subclavian artery. Because of comorbid diseases, the thoracic operation was associated with a high risk of complications. CT analyses enabled the surgeons to appropriately plan and perform a supraclavicular access operation, avoid possible complications, and shorten the length of hospitalization.
