ABSTRACT
Vascular trauma of the upper extremities is rare. We have successfully treated a case of laceration of the right subclavian artery induced by chest injury. A 45-year-old man with blunt trauma was admitted and angiography revealed laceration of the right subclavian artery. The injured area was exposed by a median sternal approach. The right common carotid-subclavian artery bypass was successfully performed with autogenous vein graft in less than three hours from admission. He recovered without any neurological deficit or functional disability and returned to his former occupation.
ABSTRACT
A 54 year old female with bilateral traumatic pulmonary cyst due to agricultural accident is reported.<BR>She was run over by a tractor and admitted to our hospital in forty minutes after injury.<BR>Her X-ray film on 7 th day revealed bilateral pulmonary cyst and intrapulmonary hematoma.<BR>But, these abnormal shadows disappeared completely on 70 the day after injury.<BR>We consider that operative treatment for the traumatic lung cyst or intrapulmenary hematoma is not need unless we can find the conditions that give a positive support to thoracotomy.
