  • Title: Endovascular repair of blunt aortic injury in a patient with situs inversus and dextrocardia.
    Author: Bilello JF, Birnbaum PL, Venugopal C, Fong LL.
    Journal: J Vasc Surg; 2011 Sep; 54(3):857-9. PubMed ID: 21571491.
    Abstract:
    A 24-year-old male pedestrian with situs inversus and dextrocardia was struck by a car and sustained multiple injuries, including a pseudoaneurysm of the proximal descending thoracic aorta. A thoracic endograft was deployed to exclude the blunt aortic injury. We are not aware of any report of endovascular repair of blunt aortic injury in a patient with this congenital finding. A brief review of the literature is also included.
