Trap-Door Incision for Penetrating Thoracic Trauma: An Obsolete Approach?
Penetrating injuries to the subclavian vessels are uncommon and very severe lesions.

We present a case of severe bleeding from a stab wound in the left subclavicular area in a heavy-built patient where a “trap-door” incision proved inevitable to expose and repair the injury, and most probably saved his life. |
