Aortic Deceleration Injury Treated by Endograft : A Case Report with 11-Year Followup

Abstract EN

Aortic deceleration injury is a common and critical condition following automobile accident with high fatality.

The survivors complicated with associated serious injuries are even rare and definitive treatment is required.

A 37-year-old male patient had both aortic blunt injury and coronary artery injury after a frontal car collision.

After failed coronary artery percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and deteriorated aortic lesion, the ruptured aorta was subsequently successfully treated by us with a self-made individualized endograft.

The endograft was well in position and the patient functioned well in 11-year followup.

With the development of endograft and technique, the endovascular treatment may be an option for patients with complicated aortic blunt injury.

Yet careful patient selection and the long-term followup are essential.
