    Surgical repair for thoracic aorta rupture achieved a high 90% survival rate. This study highlights successful outcomes in managing complex aortic injuries with minimal complications like heart failure or renal shutdown.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Vascular Surgery

    Background:

    • Rupture of the thoracic aorta or its major branches presents a significant surgical challenge.
    • High mortality rates are associated with acute thoracic aortic injuries.
    • Effective surgical strategies are crucial for improving patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of surgical repair for thoracic aorta rupture.
    • To assess the survival rates and complication incidence in patients undergoing aortic repair.
    • To analyze factors contributing to mortality and morbidity in this patient cohort.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 37 patients who underwent surgical repair for thoracic aorta or major branch rupture.
    • Detailed review of patient demographics, injury types, surgical procedures, and postoperative outcomes.

  • Categorization of cases into acute and chronic phases for survival rate analysis.

    • Main Results:

    • Overall survival rate was 90% (33 of 37 patients).
    • Acute phase survival was 87% (19 of 22), with deaths due to severe brain trauma or hemorrhage.
    • Chronic phase survival was 94% (14 of 15), with one death from air embolism; no cases of left heart failure or renal shutdown were observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical repair of thoracic aorta rupture demonstrates a high survival rate.
    • Early recognition and management of associated comorbidities are vital for acute cases.
    • Careful surgical technique, including proper shunt placement, is essential to prevent complications like paraplegia.
