Background: Aim of the study was to present the 10-year results after endovascular repair of
acute traumatic rupture of the descending aorta in a single centre. Methods: Forty-eight …

BACKGROUND: Acute thoracic aortic injury resulting from blunt trauma is a life-threatening
condition. Endovascular therapy is a less invasive treatment modality that may potentially …

Background Endovascular surgery has recently been extended to the treatment of blunt
traumatic aortic injuries. Since most of these injuries occur at the aortic isthmus, graft fixation …

BACKGROUND: Thoracic aortic injury from blunt trauma is a life-threatening condition with
significant mortality and morbidity with open surgical repair. Endovascular means of …

Parmly et al. reported in 1958 that nearly 85% of patients with thoracic aortic injury (TAI) die
either at the scene of the traumatic incident or before arriving at a hospital. 1 A poor …

Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the endovascular treatment of acute post-
traumatic thoracic aorta rupture. Rupture of the thoracic aorta is caused in a majority of …

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 …

Traumatic aortic rupture is a devastating injury that is difficult to manage because of the
need to approach aortic repair, often in concert with management of complex associated …

Background Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is a rapidly evolving therapy in
treating blunt traumatic aortic injury (TAI). However, currently there is no consensus among …

Objective One-year outcomes of the RESCUE trial (endovascular aortic repair using Valiant
Captivia for blunt thoracic aortic injury) are reported. Methods RESCUE is a prospective …
