Emergency thoracic endovascular aortic repair for traumatic thoracic aortic rupture can be life-saving
1Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Gazi University Faculty of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey2Department of Radiology, Gazi University Faculty of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey DOI : 10.9739/uvcd.2016-51257 The thoracic aortic rupture in multiple trauma patients is often associated with a sudden deceleration after blunt aortic injury. Patients with blunt aortic injuries have high risks for paraplegia, stroke, and heart, kidney and respiratory failure. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) enables a rapid control of bleeding and ensures rapid blood flow to the internal organs. Herein, we report a female case of a distal rupture of left subclavian artery and totally separated intimal and medial layers of the artery which was successfully treated with TEVAR procedure.
