PY - 2023 T2 - Vascular Injury: Endovascular and Open Surgical Management AB - Trauma to the axillary and subclavian arteries, collectively termed axillosubclavian injuries, occurs in 0.4% of all mechanisms of injury presenting to modern trauma centers1 and accounts for approximately 4% of vascular injuries subsequently identified.2 Although they are less well defined epidemiologically, iatrogenic complications occurring during in-hospital procedures such as attempts at central venous catherization also contribute to the number of injuries encountered at this anatomic location. Specific injury types that can be encountered include dissection, pseudoaneurysm, arteriovenous fistula, and transection.3 Outcomes following axillosubclavian injuries vary considerably depending upon a variety of factors, but mortality rates of 28% to 34% have been reported.3,4 SN - PB - McGraw Hill CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - accesssurgery.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1200599343 ER -
