We observed false aneurysms forming as a result of a stab wound in the region of the right chest (lath). It should be noted that open surgical reconstructive surgery tactics to date remains the «gold standard» in the treatment of this pathology. Our experience shows that the optimal choice and method of surgical treatment of arterial aneurysms of the axillary artery by restoring the arterial defect.
