title: [Rupture of the left subclavian artery associated with fracture of the 1st rib].
abstract: Treatment in a case of partial rupture of the subclavicular artery, provoking subacute ischemia of the upper limb and associated with a fracture of the first rib, was by sternoclavicular disinsertion and resection-suture. The importance of systematic investigation of possible subclavicular lesions in patients with fractured first ribs is emphasized, both during the initial and follow-up examinations. The presence of a fracture of this type has little influence on the classical surgical attitude adapted, apart from the possible need for resection of the first rib.
