Abstract

The patient is a 56-year-old man. He fell while playing golf and sustained a contusion on his right chest. He fell into hemorrhagic shock during surgery for a right clavicle fracture at a nearby hospital and required cardiac resuscitation. Computed tomography( CT) scan revealed left pneumothorax and right hemothorax, and a contrast-enhanced CT scan revealed a pseudoaneurysm at the brachiocephalic artery origin. He underwent surgery three weeks later. Surgery was performed through a median sternotomy and partial arch replacement (zone 2) with antegrade cerebral perfusion under moderate hypothermia. He was discharged on postoperative day 10 without significant complications.
