title: Fatal delayed rupture of the subclavian artery in a patient with first-rib fracture caused by blunt trauma.
abstract: This case highlights the probable association of significantly displaced posterior first-rib fracture and jagged edges of the fracture line following blunt chest trauma with delayed ipsilateral subclavian artery rupture. Early angiography and first-rib repair should promptly be considered under such circumstances.
