Description
Purpose: This case report will analyze current research on the treatment of traumatic aortic injuries and describe the case of a 41-year-old female whose injury healed without intervention with the purpose of furthering knowledge of conservative treatment options for aortic injury.
Materials and Methods: This case study’s methods include a review of published literature on traumatic aortic injuries and a description of a unique case that demonstrates the importance of injury classification and noninvasive treatment.
Results: A 41-year-old female patient with high energy trauma presented with a multifocal low grade (grade 1) abdominal aorta injury which healed without surgical intervention.
Conclusions: There is increasing evidence of the success of noninvasive treatment for low grade aortic injury. More expansive studies are needed on the topic so that radiologists and surgeons can provide the highest level of individualized care to patients following traumatic aortic injury.
