Tension hemothorax following endovascular thoracic aortic transection repair: case report.
VASCULAR AND ENDOVASCULAR SURGERY(2010)
Abstract
Thoracic aortic transection (TAT) is the second commonest cause of death from blunt trauma surpassed only by head injury and is associated with a mortality of 80% to 90%. The injury site is typically anteromedial at the aortic isthmus where differential shear forces act during rapid deceleration. The authors report a lateral aortic laceration managed by endovascular repair that required open thoracotomy for tension hemothorax resulting from an endoleak.
