Abstract
Brachiocephalic venous aneurysm is an extremely rare condition, with <20 cases reported in the literature. We present a case of a 72-year-old man who was referred to our department owing to a large aneurysm of the left brachiocephalic vein that was incidentally discovered on computed tomography. Further workup confirmed an isolated saccular aneurysm of the left brachiocephalic vein. The patient underwent aneurysmectomy via sternotomy with no requirement for a vascular graft or cardiopulmonary bypass. The postoperative course and follow-up were uneventful.Entities:
