Traumatic Thoracic Aortic Injury
T raumatic blunt injury to the thoracic aorta is a devastating condition that can lead to immediate death at the time of injury in the majority of cases, due in part to either aortic transection or acute rupture.1 Although blunt aortic injury accounts for fewer than 1% of all adult level I trauma center admissions, this condition represents the second most common cause of death due to blunt inj...
متن کاملBlunt Cardiac Injury in Trauma Patients with Thoracic Aortic Injury
Trauma patients with thoracic aortic injury (TAI) suffer blunt cardiac injury (BCI) at variable frequencies. This investigation aimed to determine the frequency of BCI in trauma patients with TAI and compare with those without TAI. All trauma patients with TAI who had admission electrocardiography (ECG) and serum creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) from January 1999 to May 2009 were included as a study ...

disease, either singly or together, seem to provide suitable conditions for rupture. As yet it is impossible to predict which patients with SLE will develop this problem, and still unknown whether a recent exacerbation of SLE disposes tendons to rupture. Patellar tendon rupture is increasingly recognized, with many spontaneous ruptures in patients with SLE reported. Bilateral patellar and simul...
متن کاملImaging Techniques for Diagnosis of Thoracic Aortic Atherosclerosis.
The most severe complications after cardiac surgery are neurological complications including stroke which is often caused by emboli merging from atherosclerosis in the ascending aorta to the brain. Information about the thoracic aorta is crucial in reducing the embolization risk for both surgical open and closed chest procedures such as transaortic heart valve implantation. Several techniques a...
متن کاملAppearance of thoracic aortic aneurysm on myocardial perfusion imaging.
We present the case of a 65-year-old man with dyspnea and chest discomfort referred for dipyridamole myocardial perfusion scintigraphy. 99mTc-sestamibi cardiac gated SPECT images showed an irreversible hypoperfusion in the mid-ventricular portion of anteroseptal wall, a suspicious reversible hypoperfusion in the apical slices of inferolateral wall, and left ventricle dilatation with a ejection ...
