Extrathoracic subclavian artery aneurysm in a patient with suspected genetic arteriopathy.

This is a case of a 4-cm left extrathoracic subclavian artery aneurysm (SCAA) in a 58-year-old man with an aortic root and abdominal aortic aneurysm. The patient had features suggestive of genetic arteriopathy, including vertebral artery tortuosity, pectus excavatum, tall stature, and scoliosis. The SCAA was successfully repaired with an inline prosthetic graft and anastomotic pledgets via a supraclavicular approach. Genetic testing revealed an FBN1 pathogenic variant consistent with Marfan syndrome. Repair is satisfactory 2 years later. Patients with SCAA should include consideration of genetic arteriopathy. Open repair of the extrathoracic SCAA in Marfan syndrome is recommended.
