Abstract:
Blunt abdominal aortic injury (BAAI) is extremely rare. Three known treatments of BAAI exist: medical treatment, conventional surgical treatment, and endovascular treatment. Outcomes of medical and conventional surgical treatments, such as bypass graft, thrombectomy, and intimal suture, were not satisfactory. A 47-year-old man presented with multiple injuries after a high-speed vehicular accident. He was diagnosed with the traumatic aortic injury to be an intra-mural hematoma in the bifurcation of the terminal aorta. Endovascular repair with a kissing stent was performed after exploratory laparotomy. At 12 months postoperatively, the kissing stents were patent and intact, and there was no late complication. The findings indicate that the kissing stent could be useful for the treatment of BAAI in the terminal aorta.

Following are the key components and categories of hand-off reports:
Purpose and Process:
Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
Abdominal Regions and Quadrants
The simpler quadrants approach, which is more commonly used in medicine, subdivides the cavity with one horizontal and one vertical line that intersects at the patient's umbilicus (navel). The four...
