Blunt traumatic subclavian vein pseudoaneurysm

Subclavian Vein Catheterization

T he subclavian approach to central venous cannulation provides rapid access for fluid and blood administration, hemodynamic monitoring, pacemaker insertion, and placement of catheters for parenteral nutrition. This approach is also useful when peripheral intravenous sites are not available due to extensive burns or trauma, or simply are not present because of obesity or vein depletion from pri...

Traumatic Supratrochlear Artery Pseudoaneurysm With Spontaneous Resolution

Background: Traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the supratrochlear artery is a rare lesion. It manifests, as a painless mass, in the frontal region following trauma. The unusual incidence and confusing presentation require the clinicians to thoroughly understand its presentation and diagnosis. Diagnosis is typically made on history and physical examination, but it can be confirmed by duplex ultraso...

Subclavian artery and jugular vein rupture after a blunt thoracic trauma due to a BMX handlebar.

A 14-year-old BMX driver suffered a blunt trauma towards the lateral neck (Fig. 1). A computed tomography (CT) angiography revealed a dye stop in the left subclavian artery with collateral blood flow (Fig. 2). Interventional catheterisation revealed a rupture. However, no peripheral pulse deficit was evident, and, therefore, no immediate vascular surgery was performed. www.elsevier.com/locate/e...

Traumatic right proximal subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm treated with a hybrid procedure: A case report.

Blunt trauma to the right proximal subclavian artery is uncommon and tends to be associated with pseudoaneurysm formation. We report a patient with right proximal subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm after blunt chest trauma following a motor vehicle accident. The condition was successfully treated with a combined insertion of a covered stent and carotid-carotid bypass as a hybrid procedure. Duplex...
