 PDF
- raumatic shoulder dislocations are one of the most common major dislocations in the general population. Injury to major vessels is rarely reported as a complication of shoulder dislocations. This case report presents the traumatic dissection of the axillary artery after a simple shoulder dislocation that was managed successfully with the placement of a self-expanding stent. With the clinical manifestations of a brachial plexus injury and progressive vascular compromise in the affected arm, a major vascular injury was detected on an angiogram, and a self-expanding stent was deployed. Through immediate diagnosis and prompt intervention, serious complications, such as hypovolemic shock and even death, were averted, ultimately achieving a favorable patient outcome.
