We describe a case of post-traumatic aortic dissection in a patient 44 years old, whose circular rupture intima immediately below the left subclavian artery led to tamponade the true lumen of the aorta to the narrowing of its lumen to 6 mm in the upper third of the thoracic aorta. Patient underwent implantation of bare metal stent percutaneously which allowed fully straighten the intima and restore the true lumen of the aorta. Study one year after the intervention show the patient's condition is satisfactory, according to the MSCT data the diameter of aorta is not increased, the stent configuration fully corresponds to the contour of the true lumen of the aorta, there is no dissection. Stenting in traumatic aortic dissection is a safe and effective intervention and can be used as monomethod.
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.
