  • Title: Management of subclavian and innominate artery injuries.
    Author: Richardson JD, Smith JM, Grover FL, Arom KV, Trinkle JK.
    Journal: Am J Surg; 1977 Dec; 134(6):780-4. PubMed ID: 339764.
    Abstract:
    Subclavian and innominate arterial injuries are life-threatening and require aggressive treatment. Physical findings, chest x-ray examinations, and a high index of suspicion led to expoloration in seventeen of twenty-two patients in this series, but the selective use of arteriography is helpful. Primary repair was accomplished in nineteen of the twenty-two patients. Wide proximal exposure proved to be accompanied by little morbidity with the reward of increasing survival to 95.5 per cent.
