Zone I gunshot neck injury treated with common carotid and esophageal stent grafts.

Abstract
Management of zone I gunshot injuries to the neck is controversial. Endovascular and endoscopic therapies are appealing minimally invasive alternatives, but they are still evolving. This case report demonstrates effective stent grafting of an arterial and an esophageal zone I neck injury after a civilian gunshot.
