Abstract
|
|
|
|
Injury to the internal mammary artery secondary to blunt chest trauma is a rare condition. It is also uncommon to see extraplerual and mediastinal hematoma in these circumstances; this demands early diagnosis and active treatment. We report here on a 59 year old man who underwent surgery for extraplerual and mediastinal hematoma, and this was all due to injury of the internal mammary artery after blunt chest trauma. We also include a review of the relevant literature. (Korean J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2008;41:133-136)
