Endovascular Stent in Traumatic Thoracic Aortic Dissection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Traumatic thoracic aortic injury is typically fatal. However, recent improvements in pre-hospital care and diagnostic modalities have resulted in an increased number of patients with traumatic aortic injury arriving alive at the hospital. Also, the morbidity and mortality associated with endovascular repair are significantly lower than with conventional open surgery in traumatic thoracic aorta injury. We experienced two cases of successful management of traumatic thoracic aortic dissection with endovascular stents caused by traffic accidents.

Complications after endovascular repair of Stanford type A (ascending) aortic dissection.
Endovascular treatment has emerged as a less traumatic alternative treatment for several diseases of the thoracic aorta. However, the complications of the endovascular management of ascending aortic dissections are still high. We present a case of two iatrogenic complications after endovascular repair (EVAR) of type A (ascending) aortic dissection. Retrograde aortic dissection at the proximal p...

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is a minimally invasive technique which is increasingly used in different thoracic aortic pathologies such as aortic aneurysm, complicated type B aortic dissection, aortic trauma, intramural hematoma and penetrating aortic ulcer. In this paper we discuss the main indications for endovascular stent-grafts in the treatment of thoracic aortic disease, ba...

We report the case of a 23-year-old woman who died due to endograft stenosis 20 months after thoracic endovascular aortic repair. The patient presented with the pseudocoarctation syndrome. Although angioplasty of stenosis endograft was successfully performed, severe metabolic complications were lethal.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the outcome of endovascular stent graft placement in patients with acute thoracic aortic syndromes. METHODS Emergency stent-graft implantations were performed in 57 patients with acute thoracic aortic syndromes from May 2001 to December 2005 (45 Stanford B aortic dissections, 9 acute penetrating aortic ulcers or pseudoaneurysms. 3 traumatic thoracic aneurysms). The clini...

Degenerative aneurysms of the thoracic aorta are increasing in prevalence. The recognition of the decreased morbidity of this approach compared with open repair was readily apparent, as it avoided left thoracotomy, aortic cross-clamping, and left heart bypass. Repair of isolated descending thoracic aortic aneurysms using stent grafts was introduced in 1995, and in an anatomically suitable subgr...
