We report on the management of a large intrathoracic subclavian pseudoaneurysm treated using an upper J ministernotomy with subclavian extension. This approach allows exposure of the supraaortic vessels and upper portion of the thoracic cavity and may be of help in selected cases. (J Card Surg 2012;27:368‐370)
