ENDOVASCULAR REPAIR OF AN AXILLARY PSEUDOANEURYSM DUE TO PENETRATING TRAUMA
| Resumo: | Axillary and subclavian artery injuries due to penetrating trauma, excluding those occurring in war theatre, are relatively rare and few cases are described in the literature. However, if not diagnosed in a timely manner, these lesions may be associated with high morbidity and mortality. The difficulty and complications often associated with the open surgery approach have made endovascular treatment a more attractive alternative, particularly in cases of pseudoaneurysm or arteriovenous fistula formation. The authors describe a clinical case of a 24-year-old man admitted for an axillary artery injury in the context of penetrating trauma and that undergone successful endovascular correction. |
