  • Title: Delayed axillary artery pseudoaneurysm as an isolated consequence to anterior dislocation of the shoulder.
    Author: Palcau L, Gouicem D, Dufranc J, Mackowiak E, Berger L.
    Journal: Ann Vasc Surg; 2012 Feb; 26(2):279.e9-12. PubMed ID: 22304870.
    Abstract:
    Injury to the axillary artery after anterior shoulder dislocation is a very rare occurrence; although infrequently seen as an iatrogenic complication, very few cases have been reported. We describe a case of delayed axillary artery pseudoaneurysm, presenting as single complication after anterior shoulder dislocation reduction, which was successfully managed by surgical intervention-resection-anastomosis. Although uncommon, pseudoaneurysms should not be forgotten after trivial trauma. The early diagnosis of upper-limb pseudoaneurysms should prevent the risk of vascular and neurological compromises with potential serious long-term sequelae.
