Abstract
|
|
|
|
Although the innominate artery is protected by a bony structure, traumatic injury of this vessel has been reported. These injuries usually occur after blunt chest trauma or sudden deceleration, and are often coupled with other associated injuries. However, we experienced an unusual occurrence where a deceased patient with no history of blunt trauma and no apparent injury on the chest, head, or neck showed an isolated injury of the innominate artery with extensive hemorrhage at the postmortem examination. In the present report, we describe the present case, indicating the characteristics of the innominate artery injury, and review the associated literature.
