[Surgical treatment of a subclavian artery aneurysm].

The article describes a rare clinical case of an atherosclerotic (poststenotic) aneurysm of the second segment of the subclavian artery, also involving the opening of the internal thoracic artery (ITA) in a male patient with CAD. The authors showed a possibility of preserving the ITA during resection of the aneurysm, in order to use it later on for surgical revascularization of the myocardium.
