Abstract

Blunt traumatic injuries to the innominate artery are rare but potentially devastating injuries. Patients with an innominate injury who survive typically have an isolated intimal tear with an intact adventitia. There are multiple case reports and series describing off-pump repair of innominate injuries using synthetic grafts, and even reports of successful endovascular stenting. We report the first successful case of innominate artery disruption and repair using CorMatrix (CorMatrix Alpharetta, GA) extracellular matrix.<br /> (Copyright © 2013 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
