2022, Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases, Innovations and TechniquesCitation Excerpt :Although the true incidence is unknown, a subclavian pseudoaneurysm is an uncommon pathologic entity, with most of the described cases related to trauma or iatrogenic related to central catheter placement.2 A search of the reported data revealed only seven cases of subclavian pseudoaneurysm related to IVDU.3-8 Subclavian pseudoaneurysms can present as a pulsatile neck mass, chest or shoulder pain, hoarseness, hemoptysis, brachial plexus palsy (Pancoast syndrome), or venous stasis and have been associated with limb ischemia, stroke, and rupture.
Outcomes of Surgical and Endovascular Treatment for Arterial Lesions in Intravenous Drug Abusers

2020, Annals of Vascular SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Owing to high reinfection rates in IFA patients, antibiotic therapy should be continued IV for as much as 6 weeks and may be further prolonged with oral preparations, depending on the individual case circumstances and surgeon's preference. These patients should also receive antitetanus prophylaxis and undergo psychiatric counseling and addiction treatment.30 Vascular lesions in intravenous drug addicts present a major challenge for vascular surgeons.
