Abstract

Innominate artery injury is an uncommon consequence of blunt trauma to the neck due to its protected position behind the thorax. A 38-year-old male presented as a trauma with a right-sided pseudoaneurysm emanating from the distal innominate artery after falling from a three-story building. On imaging, he also had a bovine arch. He underwent hybrid repair with covered stent placement from the common carotid into the innominate artery, carotid-subclavian bypass, and plugging of the subclavian artery. The patient recovered with no cerebral insult, neurological deficits, or rupture. Post-traumatic innominate artery pseudoaneurysms can successfully be repaired via a hybrid surgical approach.
