Abstract:
Distal innominate artery injury secondary to blunt trauma had not previously been reported. We present a case of distal innominate artery transection associated with a cervical spine dislocation. A mechanism for this unusual vascular injury is proposed. An organized diagnostic and treatment plan is emphasized.
