Abstract
A 17-year-old man was seen with an expanding false aneurysm of the right ax illary artery. This was treated by an intraluminal covered-stent introduced through the brachial artery via an 11F sheath. The covered-stent was const ructed from a segment of great saphenous vein anchored in the axillary arte ry by a 29 mm Palmaz stent. Postoperative arteriography and duplex scanning confirmed normal how through the axillary artery with complete exclusion o f the aneurysm. Postoperative recovery was uneventful.
