Blunt traumatic injury to the thoracic aorta treated with thoracic endovascular aortic repair: a single-centre 20-year experience

Abstract

Our data corroborate the excellent results of the endovascular treatment of blunt thoracic aortic injury when follow-up is extended to 20 years. New-generation devices, which are more comfortable and have smaller diameters, may further improve the results of TEVAR in treating traumatic aortic injury. Surveillance with cross-sectional imaging remains mandatory.
