Subclavian-carotid transposition: an option for repair of traumatic subclavian artery dissection: case report.
An extremely rare injury, dissection of the subclavian artery from blunt trauma, is reported. Arterial flow to the upper extremity was restored by subclavian-carotid transposition, obviating the need for prosthetic graft repair. Subclavian-carotid transposition is a useful technique in the repair of selected subclavian artery injuries.
