Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) in traumatic high-velocity blunt injury to thoracic aorta.
Blunt trauma to the thoracic aorta occurs typically in a highvelocity or high-impact motor vehicle accident when there is a combination of sudden deceleration and shearing at the relatively immobile aortic isthmus; the area distal to the left subclavian artery and proximal to the third inter-costal artery, representing the junction between the relatively mobile aortic arch and the fixed descend...
متن کاملCurrent Management of Traumatic Rupture of the Descending Thoracic Aorta
Traumatic rupture of the descending thoracic aorta remains a leading cause of death following major blunt trauma. Management has evolved from uniformly performing emergent open repair with clamp and sew technique to include open repair with mechanical circulatory support, medical management and most recently, endovascular repair. This latter approach appears, in the short term, to be associated...
متن کاملAcute traumatic injury of the thoracic aorta with pseudoaneurysm after blunt chest trauma: Report of two cases
Acute injury to the thoracic aorta is a life-threatening and can lead to various types of aortic injury including the formation of false aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm. We report two cases of acute traumatic aortic injury after motor vehicle accidents. One case had a saccular pseudoaneurysm and another case had complex aortic injury with pseudoaneurysms. We review the chest radiograph and CT scan f...
متن کاملEndovascular repair of traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta: report of three cases and review of
Abstract Traumatic descending thoracic aorta pseudo aneurysms have been treated traditionally with open surgery in the past, which have had noticeable rates of mortality and morbidity. A safer method of treatment for this disease is made possible with recent progress in endovascular treatment techniques. In this article, we present three cases of Traumatic descending thoracic aorta pseudo aneu...
