| Abstract: | Endovascular treatment approaches offer minimally invasive alternative strategies for the management of vascular injuries. While endovascular stent graft repair of blunt injury to the thoracic aorta is well described, there are few reports of its application for treatment of penetrating injuries of the thoracic aorta. We report the successful treatment of a through-and-through gunshot injury of the thoracic aorta and review how this technology may be applied for the treatment of penetrating thoracic aortic injury. |
