The blunt injury of the thoracic aorta constitutes one of the most severe chapter of traumatology. Open and transmural aortic injury leads to death on site, but its blunt trauma provides chance for survival if expeditious transport, diagnostic workup and proper selection of treatment are given. The blunt trauma of the aorta usually is a part of multiple injuries which determines the final outcome significantly. To select among acute, subacute interventions and conservative treatment options needs great experience following personalized algorithm. The wide variety of the clinical picture makes difficult to formulate an individualized clear guideline - so we think it is important to summarise own experiences and overview related literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
