OBJECTIVES: Thoracic endografts (stent grafts) have emerged as a less invasive modality
to treat various thoracic aortic lesions. The intentional coverage of the left subclavian artery …

OBJECTIVE: Stent grafting has become the first-line approach to traumatic thoracic aortic
transections (TTAT) in some trauma centers due to a perceived decrease in morbidity and …

Results: One hundred ninety-three patients met the criteria for inclusion. Overall, 125
patients (64.9%) were selected for SG and 68 (35.2%) for OR. SG was selected in 71.6% of …

Endovascular repair is rapidly becoming the treatment of choice for thoracic aortic disease,
which oftentimes involves or lies in close proximity to the left subclavian artery (LSA). In …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the available data on stent-graft repair of acute blunt traumatic
thoracic aortic injury with regard to safety and efficacy compared with conventional open …

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 …

Background Traumatic rupture of the thoracic aorta is a life-threatening event. Open surgical
repair is the 'gold standard', but is associated with high mortality and morbidity rates …

We propose a systematic review that compares outcomes after intentional coverage of the
left subclavian artery during thoracic endovascular repair with and without prior surgical …

The most common imaging modality used for diagnosis of aortic disease is CT, followed by
transesophageal echocardiography, MRI, and aortography. If multiple imaging is performed …

OBJECTIVES AND DESIGN: Traumatic thoracic aortic injuries are serious and may be
associated with high morbidity and mortality. Endovascular stent grafting is now an …
