Hello.
Thanks for your query.
Surgery for subclavian artery aneurysm is not associated with any long term problems unless it is associated with some complications during the surgery like nerve injury or nerve impingement.
Post operatively anticoagulants are given to prevent clot formation near the site of operation as the clots formed might get lodged into the heart.
Every surgery is associated with pain and it subsides gradually as the wound heals up.Your mother will also recover in 10-15 days and after that will definitely return to her normal life.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available if you have any further queries.
Regards
