Abstract
Innominate artery injury after blunt trauma is uncommon and mostly observed at its origin from the aorta. We report here an unusual case of distal innominate artery injury associated with acute right subclavian occlusion. MEDLINE search of blunt traumatic injury to the innominate artery revealed a total of 132 case reports by the end of 2003, including this case report, and all these published studies were reviewed.Entities:
