Key Clinical Message Subclavian artery aneurysms are uncommon and present a diagnostic dilemma. Our patient attended with life‐threatening rupture, requiring prompt management. However, lack of on‐site facilities and specialist input posed a logistical challenge. The patient was stable enough to allow an urgent transfer to a specialist unit for successful endovascular repair.
