Innominate Artery Through Ministernotomy With Anatomic Tunneling for Critical Ischemia of the Left Upper Extremity
The patient is a 58-year-old woman with a history of left-sided mastectomy and axillary node dissection for cancer. She developed occlusive disease requiring extensive stenting of the left subclavian-axillary artery and subsequent carotid to proximal brachial artery prosthetic bypass, complicated by stroke. She was referred for critical ischemia of the left upper extremity and computed tomography angiography showing occlusion of the bypass with reconstitution of the proximal brachial artery.

Cryptogenic Stroke Following Abdominal Free Flap Breast Reconstruction Surgery
Conclusion Surgeons and cardiologists should be aware of this cerebrovascular complication secondary to PFO following major reconstructive surgery such as microvascular breast reconstruction. It also serves to challenge microvascular surgeons to reconsider routine use of central venous pressure lines in free flap patients who might otherwise have good peripheral vessels for postoperative fluids and antibiotic administration.
