Abstract:
We herein describe a patient with segmental pulmonary artery transection after blunt trauma, which was diagnosed preoperatively by computed tomography. Bolus tracking contrast-enhanced computed tomography clearly depicted both aortic and pulmonary vasculatures. A one-step examination quickly disclosed aortic damage and injury to significant visceral organs. To the best of our knowledge, our patient appeared to be a unique case of pulmonary segmental artery transection after blunt injury, which was preoperatively diagnosed by computed tomography. Ultimately, successful surgical repair of the pulmonary artery was performed.

Flail Chest-I
Flail chest is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the fracture of three or more adjacent ribs in multiple places. It is most commonly caused by direct impacts and trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or injuries from a steering wheel impact. It can also occur due to falls in elderly individuals with osteoporosis, or assaults involving sharp objects.
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of flail chest is complex, involving fractures of...
