Abstract
Two cases are presented in which transcutaneous balloon catheter tampo nade of exsanguinating infraclavicular injuries was performed in the t rauma admitting area. Angiography and venography demonstrated isolated injuries of the subclavian vein tamponaded by the balloon catheter. B alloon catheter tamponade provided emergency control of bleeding in th e admitting area and ultimately definitive treatment of the venous inj ury.
