Aortic trauma incidence in Scotland is low, with blunt mechanisms like road accidents being most common. Survival rates are poor, with high mortality even after attempted surgical repair.

Area of Science:

  • Trauma Surgery
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Aortic trauma is a severe injury with high mortality.
  • Understanding the incidence and outcomes of aortic trauma is crucial for improving patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the incidence, mechanisms, and outcomes of aortic trauma in Scottish patients from 1992 to 2002.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Scottish Trauma Audit Group database to identify patients with aortic trauma.
  • Analyzed demographic data, injury mechanisms, initial management, and patient outcomes.

Main Results:

  • 165 cases of aortic trauma were identified (0.3% of trauma patients).
  • Blunt trauma (73%) was more common than penetrating trauma (27%), with road traffic accidents as the leading cause.

  • Overall mortality was 86%, with 55% of patients dying before reaching the operating room and a 59% operative mortality rate.

    • Conclusions:

    • Aortic trauma presenting to Scottish hospitals is infrequent.
    • The majority of patients do not survive to undergo surgical repair, and both operative and overall mortality rates remain prohibitively high.
