Abstract
Axillosubclavian arterial transection due to blunt traumatic injury poses a treatment challenge in the multiply injured patient. Endovascular repair can be technically successful if the injury is focal. We describe an endovascular technique utilizing combined brachial and femoral access to create a through-and-through brachial-femoral wire and repair the arterial injury with a covered stent.
