Abstract
Endovascular therapy affords the opportunity to decrease surgical morbidity and improve operative planning in complex penetrating injuries of the chest. In this case report we describe a hemodynamically stable patient with a single gunshot wound to the base of the neck (zone I), with combined vascular and tracheal injuries. We present a novel approach to the repair of this type of injury using combined endovascular and open techniques.
