Due to the substantial and continual increase in the number
of motorized vehicles globally, clinicians are faced with an
enormous population at risk for suffering internal mammary
artery injuries after blunt chest trauma. Nevertheless, very
little attention has been paid to this issue by relevant health
practitioners. In addition, there is a scarcity of extant research
data, as well as societal guidelines, regarding internal mammary
artery injury. In cases with undetected internal mammary artery
injury, however, the outcome may be catastrophic or fatal. Thus,
investigating and reviewing the anatomy, etiology, diagnostic
approaches, and treatment strategies for patients with internal
mammary artery injury are urgently needed.
