ABSTRACT
Objective To report care strategies for 4 patients undergoing thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) of traumatic type B aortic dissection caused by traffic accidents.Methods From December 2009 to December 2016,4 patients underwent TEVAR for traumatic type B aortic dissection caused by traffic accidents. The care strategies included sedative analgesia, control of blood pressure and heart rate and treatment of complications.Results All patients underwent TEVAR.The length of hospital stay was 14~25 days.The examinations by thoracicaorta computer tomography (CT)3 months after operation showed that a satisfactory closure of intimal tear,decreased false lumen diameter,increased true lumen diameter and the stent in good position.Conclusion The systematic care strategy plays an important role in the control of rapid progressing in traumatic aortic dissection,gains time for operation so as to reduce the mortality rate and promote successful operation and recovery of the disease.
