ABSTRACT
The diagnosis and management of aortic lacerations has been gradually improving. Historically, aortic laceration were a common cause of cause of exsanguination with extremely rate. However, in modern trauma systems with advanced ressuscitation and rapid radiology imaging, the diagnosis of an aortic injury is improving with an emphasis on preventing the progression of intimal flaps and pseudoaneurysms to frank dissection or rupture. Both diagnostic modalities and the paradigm of immediate operative intervention have changed. The evolution of endovascular steting may play a future role in definitive care.
