Traumatic aortic rupture (TAR) management has shifted towards endovascular grafting, offering better outcomes than open surgery. This minimally invasive approach reduces mortality and paraplegia, making it the preferred treatment for these critical injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Vascular Endovascular Therapy

Background:

  • Traumatic aortic rupture (TAR) is a severe injury often resulting from high-velocity motor vehicle accidents.
  • Current management guidelines emphasize Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) principles and controlled hypotension for suspected TAR.
  • Spiral CT angiography is the preferred diagnostic tool, negating the need for additional angiography.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the current management strategies for traumatic aortic rupture.
  • To compare the outcomes of endovascular grafting versus conventional open surgery for TAR.
  • To highlight the benefits of endovascular treatment in reducing mortality and complications.

Main Methods:

  • Review of management protocols for traumatic aortic rupture.

  • Comparison of outcomes between endovascular grafting and open surgical repair.
  • Analysis of diagnostic modalities, including spiral CT angiography.

    • Main Results:

    • Endovascular grafting demonstrates superior outcomes compared to conventional surgery, with reduced mortality and paraplegia rates.
    • Minimally invasive endovascular procedures avoid treatment delays caused by associated injuries.
    • Continuous surveillance is recommended for patients treated with endovascular grafts.

    Conclusions:

    • Endovascular treatment is now the preferred approach for traumatic aortic rupture, superseding acute open surgery.
    • Level I trauma centers should maintain readily available thoracic endovascular grafts for immediate use.
    • Optimal patient care necessitates prompt access to advanced endovascular techniques for TAR.
