Abstract:
An endovascular stent graft was successfully used in the management of a patient with multiple injuries, who sustained an acute type B dissection of the thoracic aorta. We discuss the multidisciplinary approach taken, the contra-indications of conventional surgery, and the radiological imaging employed. We conclude that stent grafts can be safely deployed without morbidity or mortality in a multiply injured patient.
