[Atrio-caval shunt in injury to the suprahepatic vena cava. Apropos of a case and review of the literature].
Mortality in cases of trauma-induced lesions of the suprahepatic vena cava is high because it is difficult to expose the lesions, and consequently to control blood loss. Several techniques have been reported for treating this type of lesion. We report a case in which both suprahepatic veins were sutured after installing an atrio-cava shunt via a sternotomy. The limitations of this technique and other surgical possibilities are also discussed.
