[Endoluminal treatment for traumatic aortic rupture. Case report and literature review].

Traumatic rupture of the thoracic aorta is a near-lethal event presenting on-scene mortality rates of 80% and 60-80% perioperatively with an overall survival rate of 15%. Conventional treatment includes thoracotomy with aortic clamping and aortic replacement but this implies high complication and mortality rates with extended inpatient care. Endoluminal treatment has recently become an attractive treatment option with advantages such as lower death and complication rates as well as shorter inpatient care. We present an 18-year-old female victim of a frontal automobile crash who presented mediastinal enlargement and underwent CT evaluation confirming pericardial effusion, left hemothorax and a contained traumatic rupture of the thoracic aorta. She was sent to our hospital where aortography was performed identifying the injury, and a preperitoneal left iliac artery approach was made to insert a Medtronic Talent 24F endograft. Under fluoroscopic guidance the graft was placed below the subclavian ostium. There was no endoleak after the procedure. A left iliac-femoral bypass was performed and a chest tube was inserted. The patient was managed in the ICU, being later operated by reconstructive and orthopedic surgeons for injuries related to the initial trauma. The patient was released from the hospital on the 10th postoperative day after a satisfactory evolution. We present also a brief review of recent articles.
