Abstract
We describe a case of innovative endovascular techniques to repair traumatic bilateral axillary artery disruption. A 36-year-old male construction worker fell eight stories from a scaffold and sustained bilateral axillary artery injuries. The injuries between the brachial and axillary arteries were bridged using long bare self-expanding stents (Zilver). To the best of our knowledge, this is a novel case report from a level-one trauma center where endovascular techniques were employed to repair bilateral axillary arteries with long-term follow-up.
