The traumatic break of the ascending aorta is rare. We bring report the case of a 40-year-old man, a victim of accident of the public highway having caused a break of the posterior face of the ascending aorta. The explorations scanno graphique and per operating highlighted this break. The treatment consisted of an edge-to-edge direct suture of the ascending aorta.

Traumatic rupture of the ascending aorta is rare. We report the case of a 23-year-old man who suffered a service accident by crushing the thorax between two tanks during army maneuvers that resulted in an adventitial rupture of the ascending thoracic aorta extending to the Crosse. Treatment consisted of replacement of the ascending aorta with a 24 mm Hemashield straight tube and re-implantation of supra-aortic vessels at the dome of the prosthesis.
