Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Blunt thoracic aortic injuries (BTAIs) are rare but life threatening. Most BTAI are caused by high-energy trauma. Among children with blunt trauma, the incidence of BTAI is below 1 percent. The present case deals with covered thoracic aortic rupture of a 15-year-old boy. Emphasizing the value and the difficulties of endovascular surgery in children is the motivation for this case report. CASE REPORT:We are presenting the case of a 15-year-old boy, who suffered multiple traumata after accident. Beneath multiple fractures and a liver laceration, a thoracic aortic rupture with pseudoaneurysm of the aortic wall was diagnosed. Owing to the comorbidities, an endovascular therapy in combination with a transposition of the left subclavian artery to the common carotid artery was performed. The chronological line-up of the events and the endovascular treatment as well as the in-hospital follow-up are described. DISCUSSION:Injury-induced BTAI in pubescent children rarely occurs. Only few cases can be found in literature, none of which were associated with the presented pattern of injury. CONCLUSIONS:The optimal treatment for childhood BTAI is a case-by-case decision. We critically discuss the value of endovascular therapy in the present case.
