  • Title: Aortoiliac dissection after blunt abdominal trauma: case report.
    Author: Siavelis HA, Mansour MA.
    Journal: J Trauma; 1997 Nov; 43(5):862-4. PubMed ID: 9390503.
    Abstract:
    The distal abdominal aorta is rarely injured after blunt trauma but a direct blow to the abdomen from a seatbelt or handlebars may cause intimal dissection or rupture. We present the diagnosis and surgical management of aortoiliac dissection in a 16-year-old boy injured in a motorcycle accident. The technical aspects of vascular repair are emphasized.
