Dinkel HP Eckstein FS Triller J Do DD 2002 PURPOSE To report the successful endovascular repair of an acute axillary artery hemorrhage. CASE REPORT An 87-year-old woman with Charcot-Marie-Tooth ataxia presented with an enormous shoulder hematoma and clinical signs of exsanguination after a fall. Angiography demonstrated complete avulsion of the right subscapular artery from the axillary artery, and active bleeding into a hematoma of at least 1500 mL. Endovascular repair with a balloon-mounted covered stent-graft was performed percutaneously, which controlled the bleeding and averted surgery. The patient recovered uneventfully and was without signs of recurrent bleeding or ischemia on the 6-month ultrasound examination; she reports no symptoms referable to her upper extremity after 14 months. CONCLUSIONS Endovascular repair with stent-grafts is effective in controlling arterial bleeding from supra-aortic vessels even under emergency conditions. https://sonar.ch/global/documents/186773 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1177/152660280200900121 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/pmid/11958317 Journal of endovascular therapy : an official journal of the International Society of Endovascular Specialists. - 2002 Accidental Falls Aged Aged, 80 and over Angiography Axillary Artery Balloon Occlusion Female Follow-Up Studies Hemorrhage Humans Rupture Scapula Severity of Illness Index Shoulder Injuries Stents Treatment Outcome Emergent axillary artery stent-graft placement for massive hemorrhage from an avulsed subscapular artery. http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
