Acute Traumatic Aortic Transection (ATAT) is a dramatic event related to extremely high mortality. Transluminal Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) is currently the preferred Strategy for such lesions and offers an alternative to open surgical repair.In this article we discuss the case of a 21-year old woman who suffered from an ATAT of the aortic isthmus along with multiple fractures and visceral lesions during a car accident. Three years after the endovascular repair of the aorta our patient became pregnant. The pregnancy evolved without any complications, but since no spontaneous labour occurred, and the patient refused labour induction, we decided to perform an elective caesarean section at 41 week. To our knowledge, this is the first case described in literature of a patient undergoing a caesarean section after TEVAR for ATAT.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
