Right Subclavian Artery Aneurysm

An Incidental Finding

From University of Missouri, Diagnostic Medical Ultrasound Program, Colombia, Missouri, jtr6w4{at}mizzou.edu

Subclavian artery aneurysms are rarely seen in the clinical setting, representing 1% of all peripheral artery aneurysms. The cause of a subclavian artery aneurysm is variable, and the symptoms are sometimes vague. Although other nonsonography imaging modalities are more likely to incidentally diagnose a subclavian artery aneurysm, sonographers must be aware of a subclavian artery aneurysm as a possible incidental finding to help prevent a potential fatal rupture.

Key Words: atherosclerosis • dysphagia • graft • hyperthyroidism • subclavian artery aneurysm • thyroid toxicity
