Thoracic aortic and thoracic vascular injuries
Surgical Clinics of North America, 2001Patients with thoracic vascular injuries fall into two groups: those who are exsanguinating and require an empiric operation with a high mortality and those with contained injuries that permit preoperative evaluation. The unstable group requires judgment to determine the appropriate empiric position, exposure, and operation.

Traumatic injuries: imaging of thoracic injuries
European Radiology, 2002Chest trauma is one of the most important causes of death, in particular in individuals under the age of 40 years. The mortality rate for chest trauma, often related to motor vehicle accidents, is approximately 15.5%; it increases dramatically to 77% with associated shock and head injury (Glasgow scores of 3-4).

This article emphasizes multirow detector CT (MDCT) technique, the spectrum of findings for diagnosing major thoracic vascular injuries, and the challenges and potential errors that might be encountered. In particular, the role of MDCT data after processing to enhance diagnostic accuracy and convey appropriate and required diagnostic information to the

Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1986
A report is presented of 93 patients referred for specialist management of thoracic injuries in the 5-year period 1973-1978. Penetrating trauma to the thorax had been sustained by 18 patients and blunt trauma by 75. Falls and traffic accidents were the most common causes (32 and 35 cases).

Most traumatic aortic injuries are the result of penetrating causes, whereas blunt aortic injury is less common. The initial treatment is determined by the patient's condition. Diagnostic studies include catheter arteriography, computed tomography, and transesophageal echo cardiography.

Thoracic Aortic Injuries [PDF]
, 2013 Traumatic aortic injury (TAI) is a significant modern health problem. The primary diagnostic modality is computed tomography angiography (CTA). Based on imaging, TAI is classified by severity: intimal tear (grade 1), intramural hematoma (grade 2), pseudoaneurysm (grade 3), and free rupture (grade 4).

Thoracic and Abdominal Injuries
2014Injuries to the thorax and the abdomen—the torso—contribute significantly to trauma-related mortality and morbidity. While the vulnerability of the closely organized vital organs to injury in this region plays an important role in morbidity and mortality, the noncompressible nature of hemorrhage in this area also contributes immensely to otherwise ...

Although rare, vascular injury represents one of the most feared complications of penetrating and blunt trauma. These life-threatening injuries can often be cured safely if detected early, especially in the era of vascular stenting. Original detection of aortic injury often relies on chest radiography and findings of mediastinal widening with ...
