Abstract
- Background: Aortic injuries during non-aortic related procedures are rare but potentially catastrophic. Endovascular aortic repair has been described as a viable option in similar circumstances. However, most reports involve aortic injury from orthopaedic hardware after spine surgery or trocar injury during abdominal surgery.<br />Report: This is a report of a thoracic aortic injury during thoracostomy tube placement and summary of the management paradigm. The patient was treated with a thoracic stent graft and was seen at four-month follow up, with imaging showing the endograft in stable position.<br />Conclusion: Endovascular stenting can increase the treatment scope for management of emergent thoracic aortic pathology.<br /> (© 2019 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of European Society for Vascular Surgery.)
