Endovascular Repair of Traumatic Thoracic Aortic Dissection: A Case Report
شماره ركورد
42154
Abstract
Traumatic thoracic aortic dissections are usually lifethreatining injuries in at least 75 % of victims. Open surgical graft interposition has been accepted as a traditional treatment option of those injuries, but conventional open surgery is commonly unreliable in emergent conditions due to coincident injuries. Open surgery has also high mortality rates. Endovascular repair of traumatic aortic disruption is a safer alternative treatment modality having low mortality rates than conventional repairs. We reported a case of successful repair of traumatic thoracic aortic dissection with endovascular stent graft-caused by a traffic accident.
