AbstractRuptured subclavian artery aneurysm (SAA) is extremely rare and it can cause a life-threatening condition. We described an elderly patient with ruptured SAA who underwent endovascular treatment successfully. Our case showed that endovascular repair may be one of the options for the treatment of ruptured SAA when surgical repair is impossible or not indicated for its difficulty.<Learning objective: How to manage ruptured subclavian artery aneurysm by endovascular therapy.
