“…1 The majority of patients with vascular neck injuries died at the site where the injury occurred or during transport to medical facilities. 2 According to current data, mortality associated with carotid artery (CA) injury may reach 50%, 3,4 and the incidence of persistent neurologic deficit development is 80%. 1 Optimal management of patients with severe neck wounds remains a controversial issue.…”

“…Traumatic vascular injuries can lead to rapid clinical deterioration, and mortality rates range from 5–30%. Delay in diagnosis and treatment increases the mortality from 2 to 4% in stable patients and from 15 to 32% in hemodynamically unstable patients [12, 13]. …”

Percutaneous implantable device extraction has increased in recent years and is associated with small but significant risk. Arteriovenous fistula formation is an uncommon complication of this procedure. We report two cases where lead extraction was complicated by an arteriovenous fistula between the left internal mammary artery and the left brachiocephalic vein. In both cases, the patients were asymptomatic and the presence of a continuous murmur in the left subclavicular region led to the appropriate diagnosis. These were successfully treated with coil embolization. Auscultation around prior extraction sites should be routinely done to aid in the diagnosis of this potentially harmful complication.

“…The brachiocephalic and subclavian arteries are infrequently injured as a result of blunt or penetrating trauma, stab wounds, or iatrogenic trauma [1]. These conditions are associated with very high morbidity and mortality rates, because of the non-feasibility of surgery and the high risk of cerebrovascular disorders [2][3][4][5][6][7].…”

Objectives: To review our experience of stentgraft deployment for vascular aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm of the brachiocephalic or subclavian artery. Methods: Participants comprised 7 patients (4 men, 3 women; mean age, 61 years; range, 47-76 years) who underwent endovascular repair of brachiocephalic or subclavian arterial vascular lesions between July 2001 and November 2008. Causes of vascular lesions were: traffic accident, n = 4; infection, n = 2; and post-irradiation state of esophageal cancer, n = 1. Safety, technical success, and clinical follow-up were evaluated. Results: Stentgraft deployment was successful in all cases. No complications related to stent fracture were encountered during follow-up (up to 2308 days). One male patient with esophageal cancer died of rebleeding from the tracheostomy hole 13 days after treatment with size mismatch between the stentgraft and brachiocephalic artery. Conclusion: Stentgraft deployment represents acceptable treatment for the injured brachiocephalic artery or proximal side of the subclavian artery.
