RESUMEN
Las afecciones de la arteria innominada, o tronco braquiocefálico, son infrecuentes; se pueden presentar como fístulas arteriovenosas, pseudoaneurismas postraumáticos, rupturas o disecciones, así como aneurismas verdaderos. Usualmente, se detectan como masas asintomáticas que pueden llegar a comprometer la vida del paciente o generar complicaciones tromboembólicas en el sistema nervioso central o en el miembro superior derecho. Se presenta la revisión de la literatura científica sobre aneurismas de la arteria innominada y se describe un caso tratado quirúrgicamente.
ABSTRACT
Aneurysms of the innominate artery are widely considered to be rare entities; the innominate artery pathology includes a myriad of entities such as, arteriovenous fistulas, post traumatic pseudo aneurysms, rupture and dissection, as well as true aneurysms. Usually detected as asymptomatic masses, such aneurysms may cause life-threatening complications, including distal embolism to the central nervous system or upper extremity. We present a literature review and describe our experience with one patient that underwent surgical treatment for an aneurysm of the innominate artery.
