Total endovascular repair of post-trauma ascending aortic pseudo-aneurysm and secondary superior vena cava syndrome.

Clavicular fracture or sterno-clavicular luxation are observed in 10% of all polytrauma patients and are frequently associated with concomitant intra-thoracic life-threatening injuries. Posterior sterno-clavicular luxation is well known to induce underlying great vessels damage. The gold standard treatment usually is a combined orthopedic and cardiovascular surgical procedure associating vascular repair, clavicular open reduction and internal fixation.
