Noncovered stent placement in a blunt traumatic injury of the right subclavian artery

B Janne d'Othée et al. Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol. 1999 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

We report a case of scapulothoracic dissociation with right subclavian artery traumatic injury that was managed by endovascular treatment. Particular features are the use of a flexible self-expandable noncovered stent and simultaneous protection of the right common carotid artery from distal embolization by inflating a balloon catheter.
