Endovascular Repair of Blunt Traumatic Thoracic Aortic Injuries
A 42-year-old female is involved in a motor vehicle accident and presents with a number of injuries. She is hemodynamically stable and is found to have multiple rib fractures, a hemopneumothorax, and several uncomplicated long bone fractures. A CT scan of her chest reveals a traumatic injury to her proximal descending thoracic aorta with evidence of pseudoaneurysm formation and surrounding hema...
متن کاملEndovascular management of traumatic thoracic aortic injuries.
BACKGROUND Endovascular surgery has recently been extended to the treatment of blunt traumatic aortic injuries. Since most of these injuries occur at the aortic isthmus, graft fixation in proximity to the origin of the left subclavian artery (LSA) has been a concern. Covering the LSA with graft fabric lengthens the proximal fixation site and should minimize proximal endoleaks. We therefore wish...
متن کاملThoracic 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 کاملPercutaneous endovascular repair of blunt thoracic aortic transection.
BACKGROUND Untreated traumatic aortic transection carries a mortality rate higher than 85%. Standard therapy has been open repair via a left thoracotomy with systemic heparin and is associated with a high risk of paralysis. We reviewed our experience of endoluminal stent-graft repair for treatment of acute traumatic thoracic aortic transection. METHODS Between February 2001 and February 2005,...
متن کاملEndovascular versus open surgical repair for blunt thoracic aortic injury.
A best evidence topic in vascular surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was whether patients with acute traumatic thoracic aortic injury have a better outcome with endovascular or open surgical repair. Altogether, 283 papers were found using the reported search, of which five represented the best evidence to answer the clinical question. The author, jour...
متن کاملTraumatic Thoracic Aortic Injuries
T raumatic blunt injury to the thoracic aorta is one of the most formidable challenges surgeons face. This devastating condition 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 less than 1% of all adult level I trauma center admissions, this condition represents the ...
