    Author: Jancovici R, Dubrez J, Legulluche Y, Litzler PY, Oscariz D, Lhomme Desages B, Brinquin L, Linden LJ, Hervé L.
    Journal: Chirurgie; ; 119(6-7):349-53. PubMed ID: 7805493.
    Abstract:
    Penetrating chest injuries involving the superior veina cava are a seldom observed entity to our knowledge. Most often they cause death before the patient can reach a surgical facility; because of the exsanguination and a difficult surgical approach. The authors report a war-case of superior veina cava injury and have reviewed and analysed the literature concerning the issue of immediate intensive care and surgical approach of such life threatening injuries; especially in war conditions.
