ABSTRACT
A partial disruption of the artery with extravasation of blood into surrounding tissues is the mechanism
responsible for the development of a pseudoaneurysm, the hematoma is located persistent communication
with the native artery. The clinical presentation includes a history of vascular trauma,
coupled with clinical signs and the presence of a pulsatile mass, pain, a machinery murmur, depending
on the location may present clinical signs of compression. We present a case report of male patient
who is sent to the Emergency Department with a history of firearm injury at the level of back of left hemithorax
2 months ago. On admission the patient presented increased volume in the anterior chest,
neck, shoulder, arm and hand. Vascular examination is performed in the region we will find subclavian-
axillary 1 x 2 cm pseudoaneurysm with dissecting hematoma between the pectoralis major and
minor, it was decided to perform bypass with PTFE 6 cm, 10 cm in length.
