The axillary artery is more accessible and much easier than the subclavian or the descending aorta for a proximal anastomosis. John Flege

Erdinc, 
 

I have only had one case where adhesions were bad and although tedious the time an effort was still less than for a frontal attack. 

I have, as yet to come across an inoperable descending aorta but we now check it with a cat scan and if it were a problem I would use a higher incision and go for the subclavialn.
