Abstract:
We report a case of gunshot wound to the suprarenal aorta with restoration of blood flow through a saphenous spiral graft in an 18-year-old man. He was followed for a period of 27 months. The follow-up showed a progressive dilatation of the graft. This original technique for wounds of the aorta seems a reasonable alternative for trauma cases in which there is no vascular prosthetic graft.
