Delayed Presentation of a Post-traumatic Suprascapular Artery Pseudoaneurysm.

Thyrocervical trunk pseudoaneurysms are a rare entity among pseudoaneurysms, mostly caused by trauma. We present the case of a 74-year-old male who suffered a traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the supra-scapular artery after a rib and scapular fracture. The patient was treated with various interventions along the treatment algorithm, including ultrasound-guided thrombin injection, coil embolization, and surgical excision.

An international comparison of lower extremity amputation rates.

The purpose of this report was to compare lower extremity amputation rates between areas of the United States and areas outside the United States using a standard format. Twelve U.S.

Variability in trauma center outcomes for patients with moderate intracranial injury.

Background: The variability of outcome between Trauma Centers has not been extensively studied as a possible avenue for performance improvement. Trauma Center variability in severity-adjusted survival for patients with moderate intracranial injury (MII) was studied in order to determine the association of MII-related process of care variables with outcomes. The analytic results were supplemented with peer review of MII patients with unexpected outcomes and identified potential process of care variables.
