Supra-aortic vessels aneurysms: Diagnosis and prompt intervention

Histogram represents the age at presentation in the three different age groups correlated with etiology.

A, 3D reconstruction of a computed tomography (CT) scan shows a normal aortic arch with a left subclavian aneurysm and a tortuous aneurysmatic right vertebral artery. B, Same patient postintervention demonstrates a patent left subclavian stent in situ (arrow), a right vertebral to right carotid transposition (arrow) excluding the vertebral aneurysm, and retrograde flow to the left vertebral artery through the posterior cerebral artery (arrow).

A and B, 3D reconstruction computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrates a large left common carotid aneurysm (anterior/posterior [AP] and lateral views).

A and B, 3D reconstruction computed tomography (CT) scan shows a patent internal carotid stent (arrow) excluding an internal carotid pseudo-aneurysm from a previous open repair with PTFE graft (arrow) (anterior/posterior [AP] and lateral views).

Kaplan-Meier curve shows freedom from complications in all patients. The solid line represents the Kaplan-Meier survival curve and dotted lines represent the upper and lower 95% confidence intervals.

Kaplan-Meier curve shows overall survival in patients with supra aortic aneurysms. The solid line represents the Kaplan-Meier survival curve and dotted lines represent the upper and lower 95% confidence intervals.
