Endovascular 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...

Endovascular repair of traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta: report of three cases and review of articles

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 aneurysms that...

A case of blunt thoracic aortic injury requiring ECMO for acute malperfusion before TEVAR

BACKGROUND Blunt thoracic aortic injury (BTAI) is associated with a high mortality rate and the paradigm of treating patients with BTAI currently favours thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) if possible. In BTAI, lethal malperfusion caused by a pseudoaneurysm has rarely been reported. We present the first report of a successful case in which a pseudoaneurysm causing the infrequent occu...

Four-dimensional aortic blood flow patterns in thoracic aortic grafts.

Time-resolved cardiac gated three-directional velocity data obtained with magnetic resonance velocity-encoded phase contrast sequences were used to study blood flow patterns in thoracic aortic grafts. Twelve patients were studied, 6 with traumatic descending aortic pseudoaneurysms, 3 with atherosclerotic aneurysms, and 3 with dissecting aneurysms. All grafts had an inflow jet; outflow jet; and/...
