Title Of Article :
Endovascular Treatment of Aortic Pseudoaneurism due to Gunshot in a Child
Abstract :
Traumatic pseudoaneursym of abdominal aorta is a rare life-threatening condition. Most of the lesions develop as a result of intraabdominal penetrating injuries and may not be detected at first evaluation. Endovascular stent graft repair pulls attention as an alternative to open surgery. A 13-years-old child who developed 2 aortic pseudoaneursyms at celiac trunk level as the result of gunshot wound was transferred to hybrid operating room for endovascular aneurism repair (EVAR). A thoracic endovascular stent graft (GORE, TAG, Thoracic Endoprosthesis USA) measuring 21 mm in diameter and 10 cm in length was implanted through the right femoral artery under general anesthesia.
