Increased intra-abdominal haemorrhage after thoracic endovascular aortic replacement in patients with concomitant blunt aortic injuries and abdominal trauma: a National Trauma Data Bank analysis
Abstract:OBJECTIVES
The role of thoracic endovascular aortic replacement (TEVAR) in patients with concomitant blunt thoracic aortic injury (BTAI) and blunt abdomen trauma (BAT) was evaluated using nationwide real-world data. The risk of post-TEVAR abdominal hemorrhage was studied.
METHODS
Patients with BTAI and BAT in the National Trauma Data Bank were retrospectively studied. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to evaluate the e… Show more
