- Abstract
A 43-year-old man was admitted to this hospital with a cool, slightly numb, left upper extremity after trauma. Physical examination revealed a cool left forearm and hard, with no distal pulses. An intraoperative angiogram demonstrated short-segment dissection and occlusion of the left axillary artery. A 10 mm × 40 mm self-expanding stent was placed across the intimal flap to reinstitute peripheral flow. Early postoperative duplex scanning showed normal flow through the axillary artery.
