title: Simultaneous endovascular repair of traumatic rupture of the right subclavian artery and thoracic aorta.
abstract: A patient with concomitant rupture of the thoracic aorta and right subclavian artery at its origin was managed with endovascular stents. Due to the patient's hypovolemic shock, kissing stents in the brachiocephalic artery were undersized, requiring repeat intervention with coils and cement. The technical and judgment aspects of this case are reviewed.
