  • Title: Combined transection of the left common carotid artery and delayed left main bronchus disruption after blunt chest trauma.
    Author: Tarmiz A, Dagenais F, Grégoire J, Dumont É.
    Journal: Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg; 2013 Jul; 17(1):207-9. PubMed ID: 23575758.
    Abstract:
    A 26-year old female was hit in the cervical region by a large block of ice and admitted with stable vital signs and multiple fractures. Chest radiography demonstrated an enlarged mediastinum, and CT scan revealed a transection of the left common carotid artery at its origin, with a false aneurysm. The lesion was repaired using a median sternotomy, cardiopulmonary bypass, moderate hypothermia and cerebral antegrade perfusion through the right axillary artery. The bronchial lesion was diagnosed 2 days later and successfully treated with left posterolateral thoracotomy and the use of direct bronchial anastomosis.
