Abstract
A 41 year old man with a left subclavian artery aneurysm was presented to the hospital with clinical symptom of recurrent hemoptysis. CT scan and angiography confirmed the diagnosis. Surgical treatment consisted of femoro-femoral cardiopulmonary bypass and left thoracotomy, aneurysm resection and descending aortico-subclavian vein bypass grafting. The incidental two small saccular aneurysms of the lower descending thoracic aorta were excised and directly repaired. The pathologic study revealed typical atherosclerotic changes. The patient had postoperative persistent chyle leakage and required rethoracotomy and supradiaphragmatic ligation of the thoracic duct. The patient was able to resume his usaul activity after two months of surgery.
