  • Title: [Closed trauma of the abdominal aorta--current update].
    Author: Bednarkiewicz M, Khatchatourian G, Murith N, Kalangos A, Montessuit M, Bruschweiler I, Faidutti B.
    Journal: Swiss Surg; 1998; (5):221-4. PubMed ID: 9816930.
    Abstract:
    This study constitutes an update on current knowledge in the literature concerning closed traumas of the abdominal aorta. The morbidity of such lesions, in case of initial survival, depends on both rapid diagnosis and prompt treatment of hypovolemia and ischemia. The presence of associated intestinal lesions renders diagnosis difficult, modifies surgical treatment, and aggravates prognosis.
