Axillary Artery Pseudoaneurysm due to Bullet Injury: Open Surgery of Lesion

Abstract

A 27-year-old male patient with a wound due to a gunshot in right upper thoracic area who was diagnosed as a pseudoaneurysm of right axillary artery underwent open resection and bypass graft with saphenous vein. Today, most vascular surgeons tend to treat these complications with endovascular procedure, but because of this patient’s young age and his occupation and the necessity for brachial plexus repair, we decided the open procedure method.
