  • Title: Late manifestation of a pseudoaneurysm in the descending thoracic aorta.
    Author: Gurkan S, Sunar H, Canbaz S, Duran E.
    Journal: Vasa; 2006 May; 35(2):112-4. PubMed ID: 16796011.
    Abstract:
    Rupture of the descending aorta following deceleration trauma is a catastrophic event because it has a high mortality. Prompt surgical treatment is generally considered to be mandatory. However, a few injured patients may leave the hospital with an undiagnosed aortic rupture which may give rise to a chronic pseudoaneurysm. In this report, a 28-year-old man is presented in whom a pseudoaneurysm of the descending thoracic aortic was diagnosed six months after a car accident.
