Case report: Endovascular embolization of the thoracoacromial branch of axillary artery after gunshot trauma at a regional trauma center.

Introduction And Importance: Penetrating subclavian-axillary artery injury is a rare vascular injury associated with high morbidity and mortality rates traditionally treated with open surgical repair, however endovascular treatments have been utilized in selected cases.

Case Presentation: We report a case of a 31-year-old male with a traumatic gunshot injury to the thoracoacromial branch of the left axillary artery successfully managed with endovascular embolization at a regional trauma center.

Clinical Discussion: The availability of a hybrid operating suite in severely injured patients is associated with reduced time to intervention, reduced operative duration and improved clinical outcomes.

Bladder perforation: an unusual complication caused by rectus sheath haematoma.

Rectus sheath haematoma (RSH) is an uncommon cause of abdominal pain. Despite being previously viewed as a benign, self-limiting condition, there is increasing evidence suggesting significant local and systemic complications with RSH. We present a case of an 82-year-old female who developed a large RSH following prescription of therapeutic anticoagulation for her new onset atrial fibrillation.
