A case of complete rupture of the left common carotid artery at the aortic arch and avulsion of a cusp of the aortic valve due to blunt trauma is presented. The ruptured carotid artery was reimplanted into the left subclavian artery, and the avulsed aortic valve cusp was successfully repaired by direct suturing.
