Abstract
We present a very rare case of a 62-year-old male who was presented to our department with a large pulsatile mass on the upper lateral part of the right hemi thorax. He had undergone multiple vascular surgeries in the past months, last one including right axillary-femoral artery bypass grafting (AFBG). Last few days a large, growing pulsatile mass was identified. Contrast computed tomography identified 6x8 cm pseudoaneurysm of the right axillary artery. An open surgical repair was unsuccessful. He underwent an endovascular treatment using a stent graft via left femoral access. The patient had an uneventful recovery and remained well on follow-up.
