Abstract

A 70-year-old patient, who had previously undergone open surgical repair of an aneurysmal aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA), presented with recurrent symptoms and reperfusion of the aneurysm at the site of proximal ligation. This was successfully treated by a staged endovascular procedure.
