    Author: Cline M, Cooper KJ, Khaja MS, Gandhi R, Bryce YC, Williams DM.
    Journal: Tech Vasc Interv Radiol; 2018 Sep; 21(3):131-136. PubMed ID: 30497547.
    Abstract:
    Acute traumatic injury of the thoracic aorta is a highly lethal condition, with many afflicted patients expiring before hospital arrival. While previously these conditions were managed with open surgery, endovascular repair has rapidly evolved and is now considered the standard of care for certain patterns of aortic injury at centers with appropriate expertise. The development of newer branched devices has allowed these techniques to be utilized further and further proximally into the aorta. Through minimally invasive techniques, many aortic injuries can now be treated percutaneously with shorter recovery time and less perioperative complications.
