Injury of the axillary artery: duplex ultrasound detects postoperative occlusion of the artery with the establishment of the collateral network

چکیده
Injury of the axillary artery is a life threatening condition. Seventy-five percent of the patients die before being deported to the hospital.1 Out of the rest, 82% are deported to the hospital within 24 hours, and others between 24 and 48 hours or more.1 The injury requires immediate, on-place treatment (compression) and many patients (38%) require prompt explorative surgery.1 In reports, some 85% of axillary artery traumas are caused by penetrating (stab) injuries and 15% by blunt injuries.2 Some 40-50% of the patients suffer from brachial plexus trauma: 2/3 from direct injury (partial or complete resection), 1/3 from compression due to enlarging haematoma.2,3 Unlike in cases of compression due to Radiol Oncol 2005; 39(1): 9-13.
