    Author: Carrières C, Georg Y, Khelifa I, Koskas F.
    Journal: Ann Vasc Surg; 2014 Jul; 28(5):1315.e1-4. PubMed ID: 24365083.
    Abstract:
    Ballistic injuries of the descending aorta are uncommon and of extremely severe prognosis. We report the case of a 55-year-old man treated for such a thoracic trauma that combined wounds of the heart and descending thoracic aorta. A combination of conventional surgical and endovascular approaches enabled successful treatment.
