title: Management of innominate artery injury in the setting of bovine arch anomaly.
abstract: Blunt injury to the aortic arch vessels is rare and can be life-threatening. Historically urgent repair of these injuries is emphasized. We describe the initial nonoperative management of a blunt injury to the brachiocephalic trunk in the setting of bovine arch anomaly, followed by delayed surgical management.
