Acute Traumatic Thoracic Aortic Injuries: Experience with 64-MDCT

Abstract

Direct signs of ATAI on contrast-enhanced 64-MDCT scans do not have to be confirmed with catheter angiography. In our population, diagnostic transcatheter angiography was of limited value for clarifying equivocal or indirect MDCT findings.
