| More Details: |
A 76-year-old male patient was admitted to our emergency department with painful swelling of the right lateral chest after a fall. Imaging revealed a hematoma, secondary to rupture of a synthetic axilloprofundal bypass. In an emergency surgical procedure, the spelled hematoma was evacuated and the graft legs were successfully ligated. The patient was discharged after an uneventful hospital stay. Traumatic bypass rupture because of blunt trauma is an exceedingly rare event; however, it must be taken into consideration in a patient with bypass surgery in his/her history. |
