Axillary Artery Injury Case Report and Discussion

The management of vascular trauma constitutes a great challenge for trauma surgeons; axillary artery injuries have a high mortality rate and are rare, so most surgeons have very limited experience in their treatment. Objective: Present a clinical case and discuss the management of axillary artery trauma and review the literature. A patient with a stab wound to the left shoulder was presented, surgical treatment, literature review and case analysis were performed.
