  • Title: [Contusion of the abdominal aorta and massive embolization from the use of a seat belt. A clinical case].
    Author: Espinoza R, Sonneborn R.
    Journal: Rev Med Chil; 1990 Dec; 118(12):1376-9. PubMed ID: 2152672.
    Abstract:
    Abdominal aortic lesion following blunt abdominal trauma is infrequent. Parmley quotes 347 cases of aortic lesion among 8710 necropsies. Of these, only 4.6% involved the abdominal aorta. Probably less than 100 cases have been reported afterwards. We report a case associated to the use of safety belt, who developed the serious complication of massive embolization.
