RESUMEN
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.
RESUMEN
