  • Title: Dissection and rupture of the left subclavian artery presenting as hemothorax in a patient with von Recklinghausen's disease.
    Author: Yoshida K, Tobe S.
    Journal: Jpn J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 2005 Feb; 53(2):117-9. PubMed ID: 15782577.
    Abstract:
    Hemothorax is a rare and life-threatening complication of von Recklinghausen's disease. We present a case of a 48-year-old man with this disease who developed hemothorax caused by rupture of a left subclavian artery dissection. To our knowledge, the case presented here is the first to describe successful surgical management--graft replacement of the left subclavian artery--in hemothorax due to arterial dissection associated with von Recklinghausen's disease.
