Imaging studies revealed that the tumor encompassed the axillaryartery and brachial plexus.
2
Duplex scan and multislice computed tomography examinations were performed and an axillaryartery pseudoaneurysm was diagnosed.
3
In this setting, proximal axillaryartery anastomotic disruption with pseudoaneurysm formation poses an especially vexing problem for the surgeon.
4
All patients had femoral arterial cannulation, and all 3 patients who required an aortotomy had right axillaryartery cannulation as well.
5
The axillaryartery was seen lying in the wound, pulsating feebly, but had been efficiently closed by the torsion of the machinery.
6
If diagnosed, surgical therapy with resection of the aneurysm and reimplantation of the axillaryartery under cardiopulmonary bypass demonstrates the treatment of choice.
7
Boerhaave mentions a peasant near Leyden, whose axillaryartery was divided with a knife, causing great effusion of blood, and the patient fainted.
