The magnitude of injury necessary to cause a traumatic aortic tear often results in high
mortality. Open surgery in these patients is often not well tolerated. The purpose of this study …

OBJECTIVES: Blunt traumatic thoracic aortic rupture is a life-threatening surgical emergency
associated with high mortality and morbidity. The recent development of endovascular stent …

Hypothesis Traumatic thoracic aortic injury (TAI) is traditionally treated with immediate
surgery. Previously published studies have established the safety and efficacy of treating TAI …

OBJECTIVE: Endovascular repair of injured thoracic aorta offers a new minimal invasive
therapeutic option that could be beneficial in the urgent management of polytrauma patients …

Background Endovascular technologies provide a new therapeutic option in the treatment
for acute traumatic rupture of the thoracic aorta. We report our experience with endoluminal …

BACKGROUND: The best time to intervene in traumatic aortic injuries has long been a
matter of debate. While emergency surgery is characterized by high morbidity and mortality …

Traumatic rupture of the thoracic aorta is potentially life-threatening and leads to death in 75
to 90 per cent of cases at the time of injury. In high-risk patients, as traumatic injuries of the …

OBJECTIVE: The study's objective was to comparatively evaluate surgery and stent-graft
repair of acute or subacute traumatic aortic rupture. METHODS: A total of 76 patients (14–76 …

BACKGROUND: Thoracic aortic injury remains a leading cause of death after blunt trauma.
Thoracic aortic stents have the potential to treat aortic tears using a less invasive approach …

OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to compare early results of endovascular stenting for
traumatic aortic rupture with conventional open repair. METHODS: We conducted a …
