Abstract:
We describe a rare case of delayed surgery for blunt ascending aortic injury. A 77-year-old man was injured in a traffic accident. He lost consciousness and suffered severe blunt trauma to the chest. Computed tomography showed multiple head and chest injuries and acute Stanford type A aortic dissection. The operation was postponed because he was hemodynamically stable and his risk of surgical death was increased due to his other injuries. Serial computed tomography showed growth of the aortic lesion, and aortic surgery was successfully performed 11 months after admission to the hospital. The postoperative course was uneventful.
