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
