Endovascular repair of traumatic aortic injury in a 16 month old

Traumatic injury to the thoracic aorta is rare in children. We present the youngest reported case of traumatic thoracic aortic injury, occurring in a 16 month old (10 kg) male. Management emphases include identification and stabilization of all injuries, blood pressure control, timely repair of the...

Management emphases include identification and stabilization of all injuries, blood pressure control, timely repair of the aortic injury, and long-term radiographic follow-up. We demonstrate that endovascular repair at this age is feasible, but considerations such as small vessel diameter and patient growth may limit broad application. Long-term outcomes research in this population is necessary.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2213576615300233AortaThoracicTraumaVascular InjuriesEndovascular ProceduresPediatrics
