Abstract EN
Study Aim.
Evaluation of results in blunt injury of the thoracic aorta (BAI) endovascular treatment.
Materials and Methods.
Sixteen patients were treated for BAI.
Thirteen patients had associated polytrauma, 4 of these had a serious hypotensive status and 4 had an hemothorax.
In the remaining 3, two had a post-traumatic false aneurysm of the isthmus and 1 had a segmental dissection.
In those 13 patients a periaortic hematoma was associated to hemothorax in 4.
All patients were submitted to an endovascular treatment, in two cases the subclavian artery ostium was intentionally covered.
Results.
One patient died for disseminated intravascular coagulation.
No paraplegia was recorded.
No ischemic complications were observed.
A type I endoleak was treated by an adjunctive cuff.
During the followup (1–9 years) 3 patients were lost.
A good patency and no endoleaks were observed in all cases.
One infolding and 1 migration of the endografts were corrected by an adjunctive cuff.
Conclusion.
The medium and long term results of the endovascular treatment of BAI are encouraging with a low incidence rate of mortality and complications.
More suitable endo-suite and endografts could be a crucial point for the further improvement of these results.
