Acute hemoptysis might be caused by aneurysms of the subclavian artery. We report a 75-year-old female patient presenting with recurrent hemoptysis, dyspnea, fever, and episodes of unclear pneumonia. Further examination revealed a large intrathoracic aneurysm of the right subclavian artery. After an initial transfemoral interventional attempt to occlude the entry of the aneurysm, the patient developed persistent thoracic pain. The patient was then treated by a combined extrathoracic hybrid procedure with a left to right carotid-carotid-axillary artery bypass and an endovascular aneurysm exclusion by insertion of two iliac artery occluder stent grafts in the proximal brachiocephalic trunk and the distal right subclavian artery. After this combined intervention, hemoptysis disappeared, and the patient recovered remarkably during a follow-up of 24 months.
