    Author: Davidovic L, Ilic N, Cvetkovic S, Koncar I, Colic M, Vjestica M.
    Journal: Vascular; 2011 Aug; 19(4):223-5. PubMed ID: 21742937.
    Abstract:
    Injuries to the branches of the aortic arch are rare and may be caused by blunt, penetrating, blast or iatrogenic trauma. Innominate vascular injury is a rare entity, particularly in blunt trauma. It is estimated that 71% of patients with innominate injuries die before arrival at the hospital. We report here a successfully managed case of a combined blunt trauma of the innominate artery and transection of the left innominate vein after blunt injury to the chest.
