Abstract
Aneurysms of the supra-aortic vessels represent an unusual form of ane urysmal disease. Usually detected as asymptomatic masses, such aneurys ms may cause life-threatening complications. We describe our surgical treatment for an aneurysm of the innominate artery that gave anomalous origin to the left carotid artery; the literature regarding such lesi ons is also reviewed.
