Abstract

Axillary artery injuries due to penetrating trauma are relatively uncommon. Management of these injuries is challenging due to the complex local anatomy, rigid chest walls, and associated injuries. Open exposure with direct open vascular repair has been the mainstay of operative management. We report a clinical case of a 51-year-old man victim of penetrating trauma to the axillary artery caused by a chain-saw and repaired by open surgery with a great saphenous vein interposition graft.
