Blunt innominate artery injury, a rare complication of severe deceleration trauma, can be successfully treated with emergency surgery. Early diagnosis and repair are crucial for favorable outcomes in these life-threatening cases.

Area of Science:

  • Trauma Surgery
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Blunt innominate artery injury is a rare but frequently fatal consequence of severe deceleration trauma.
  • Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention are critical for managing this life-threatening condition.

Observation:

  • A case report details the successful emergency surgical repair of a blunt innominate artery injury in a 38-year-old male.
  • Clinical indicators such as blood pressure differentials between arms and mediastinal widening on chest X-ray suggest thoracic great vessel trauma.

Findings:

  • High index of suspicion in deceleration injuries aids in diagnosing brachiocephalic vessel trauma.
  • Chest CT scans can identify major aortic trauma, but angiography remains the gold standard for definitive diagnosis.

  • Early surgical repair significantly reduces complications and mortality associated with innominate artery injuries.

    • Implications:

    • Timely diagnosis and intervention, including angiography and surgical repair, are vital for improving patient survival.
    • The use of cardiopulmonary bypass in select cases can enhance surgical outcomes for blunt innominate artery injuries.
