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 …

PURPOSE: Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has emerged as an alternative to
open surgical repair (OSR) of traumatic thoracic aortic injury (TTAI). Herein immediate and …

OBJECTIVES: Traumatic thoracic aortic injury (TTAI) is associated with high mortality rates.
Data supporting thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) to reduce mortality and …

Objective This study aims to evaluate the endoprosthesis complications in patients
undergoing TEVAR for blunt traumatic thoracic aortic injury, through long-term clinical and …

Purpose Traumatic rupture of the thoracic aorta secondary to blunt chest trauma is a life-
threatening emergency and a common cause of death, usually following violent collisions …

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

Traumatic rupture of the thoracic aorta is a life-threatening lesion and it occurs in 10 to 30%
of fatalities from blunt thoracic trauma and is the second most common cause of death after …

Thoracic aortic traumatic injury is a highly morbid event. Mortality and paraplegia rates after
emergent open repair remain high. Now, however, thoracic aortic endografting for trauma …

OBJECTIVE: We report our 10-year experience in the endovascular treatment of acute
traumatic thoracic aorta rupture at the Hospital Clinic. METHODS: We reviewed 20 patients …

BACKGROUND: Although a large proportion of patients with traumatic thoracic aortic injury
die before undergoing definitive repair, those who survive still face ongoing risk of death and …
