Abstract
The authors describe surgical treatment of soldier with false posttraumatic aneurysm of the left axillary artery in special military operation zone. As a result of mine-explosive wound, the left axillary artery was injured by metal fragment. This led to aneurysm with neuropathy and venous insufficiency of the left upper limb. Axillary artery replacement with saphenous vein was performed, and foreign body was removed. Postoperative period was uneventful. In 15 days after surgery, swelling of the left upper limb regressed. Hand sensitivity and motions recovered.
