Combined surgical and endovascular treatment of a traumatic pseudo-aneurysm of the brachiocephalic trunk with anatomical anomaly.
The authors report a case of combined surgical and endovascular treatment of a traumatic pseudo-aneurysm of the innominate artery in which the left common carotid artery originated from the brachiocephalic trunk. After a conventional surgical intervention with the implantation of the left common artery on the left subclavian artery, to correct the anatomic anomaly, a safe and effective endovascular stent-graft placement excluded the aneurysm. This new technique proposes a good chance for polytraumatized patients to receive a better prognosis and a much faster rehabilitation.
