  • Title: Thoracic aortic dissection with renal artery involvement following blunt thoracic trauma: case report.
    Author: Gates JD, Clair DG, Hechtman DH.
    Journal: J Trauma; 1994 Mar; 36(3):430-2. PubMed ID: 8145334.
    Abstract:
    Blunt thoracic aortic injury most often occurs beyond the left subclavian artery with subsequent transection and exsanguination. We present a case of an unrestrained driver involved in a high-speed motor vehicle crash who had a traumatic mid-thoracic aortic dissection involving the orifices of both renal arteries, resulting in anuria. This diagnosis should be considered in the presence of anuria following chest trauma.
