RESUMO
Background:
Mortality of traumatic aortic lesions is over 80 percent. A group of those who survive, develop a chronic pseudo aneurism, usually asymptomatic, that is detected during imaging studies. Since conventional surgical treatment of traumatic aortic lesions has a great mortality, endovascular treatment has been used as an alternative treatment in the last decade.Aim:
To report our experience with endovascular treatment of traumatic aortic lesions. Patients andmethods:
Report of seven patients aged 22 to 65 years, with traumatic aortic lesions. Under general anesthesia an endovascular prosthesis was inserted through the femoral artery.Results:
No complications were observed in the postoperative period, and after a follow up ranging from 4 to 40 months, no endoleaks or other complications have been detected.Conclusions:
Endovascular treatment of traumatic aortic lesions has good immediate and midterm results.
