Abstract
Two cases are presented in which transcutaneous balloon catheter tamponade of exsanguinating infraclavicular injuries was performed in the trauma admitting area. Angiography and venography demonstrated isolated injuries of the subclavian vein tamponaded by the balloon catheter. Balloon catheter tamponade provided emergency control of bleeding in the admitting area and ultimately definitive treatment of the venous injury.Entities:
