Risk of continuing planned surgery after endovascular repair of subclavian artery injury: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Endovascular repair with covered stents has been widely used to treat subclavian and axillary artery injuries and has produced promising early results. The possibility of a thromboembolism occurring in cerebral arteries during an endovascular procedure should be a cause for concern. In the case of endovascular management of arterial traumas, a prompt and sufficient period for check-up of the patient's neurological signs is needed, even if it requires postponing elective intervention for the patient's safety. We report a rare case of liver transplantation immediately after endovascular repair of an iatrogenic subclavian arterial injury to describe the risk of continuing planned surgery without neurologic assessment.

Because penetrating injuries are more common, many trauma surgeons have relatively little experience in dealing with blunt subclavian artery injury. This case is the first report of acute or immediate endovascular repair with pseudoaneurysm stenting of the subclavian artery, as a result ...
