An Unusual Complication of Aortic Dissection

Abstract

We present the first case of a posttraumatic pseudoaneurysm of the axillary artery successfully treated with a stentgraft.A 89-year-old woman with a conservatively treated subcapital humeral fracture developed a pseudoaneurysm of the left axillary artery which was percutaneously successfully treated with a stentgraft. Endovascular repair of a traumatic axillary artery pseudoaneurysm should be considered especially in unfit patients.
