After resection, amputation and ligature of axillary ; hem. and ligature of subclavian ; death 3d day. Autopsy showed ulcer- ated hole in axillary one inch to central side of first ligature, accounting for hemorrhage. 2 days after operation suppura- tion of sac ensued ; 7th day, rupture and discharge of con- tents of sac. Autopsy: Throm- bus on both sides of ligature. Radial pulse returned on 4th day ; aneurism very much re- duced in size, but a small tumor containing fluid persisted for some time after operation. Phlebitis resulted after opera- tion. In passing needle the sac was penetrated; hemorrhage, which did not cease with the ligature, but was controlled by compress. (No anesthetic.) Radial pulse, which was scarcely perceptible before ligature, was very dis- tinct after ; 2d day, venesec- tion 12 oz.; 16th, hem. from wound; 17th, do.; 18th, tumor began to increase in size ; 26th, it was punctured ; day before patient had coughed up contents of sac ; 7dth, hem. ; numbness of arm during convalescence. Severe hemorrhage followed wound ; ligature of the axil- lary; new hem. and ligature of subclavian; right arm remained weak after convalescence. Load of bird shot entered axilla at close range (2 feet) ; 5th day after injury, subclavian tied as it crossed 1st rib (incision be- low clavicle); 2 days after ope- ration, arterial hemorrhage; pressure;3d, hemorrhage again; recovered; fixation of fingers in flexed position as a result of in. jury to nerves by shot. Below clavicle, at first rib. Artery tied behind clavicle ; Ab- ernethy gives it as subclavian, as ** shoulder was pushed up." No bad symptoms.

Did well until 10th day, when febrile symptoms ensued ; ab- scess in axilla after convales- cence. ISO PRIZE E8SAT.

Autopsy: Artery divided by ligature; central end open ; distal closed by clot; slight pleuritis and ad hesions ; first three ribs partly absorbed Patient thought aneurism was caused by severe horseback ex- ercise ; arm remained weaker than the other; patient died three years later of ulceration of the bladder. (As the scalenus anticus was partially divided, this might be classed with the 2d division group ; practically it is in place here.) Violent hem. from the external jugular occurred on 5th day: controlled by com- press. No unfavorable symptoms super- vened. (Details not given farther.) Preparatory treatment by vene- section and cathartics ; no bad symptoms noted. Suppuration about wound and high febrile symptoms. Autop- sy: Coagnla on both proximal and distal f>ide of ligature; pur- ulent infiltration near wound. (In the Gazette Medicale, 1835, is a simple notice of this case as here given ; I can find no fur- ther account.) Same day of operation, venesec- tion 24 ounces ; 2d day, hemor- rhage 30 oz.; 17th day, venesec- tion 12 oz.; 4 months after ope* ration, no pulsation in radial. Symptoms of dyspnoea which had existed previous to operation in a severe form, disappeared after operation ; patient died of the aneurism 2 years later ; cause of death, bronchitis, anasarca, diarrhoea, and aneurism. Au- topsy: Subclavian occluded: aorta and great vessels athero- matous ; large aneurism of in- nominate extending into neck. This operation is stated to have lasted only lo minutes ; repeat- ed hemorrhage followed. 4th and r)th day arm much swol- len ; gangrene ensued ; d»^liri- um. Autopsy : Extensive in- flammation of axilla ; cardiac end of artery was not filled with clot. 182 Ligature of PRIZS ESSAY. Ike Subclarian Artery in its Third Surgical 1 IfHMDf ,.■=:;.
