Management • If the aorta is injured, but is not the source of active haemorrhage, it should be low on the list of management priorities, after haemorrhage control and neurologic stabilization.
Patients who can not or should not be operated on immediately include: • Patients who need to be transferred to other facilities for definitive repair • Severe head injury • Severe pulmonary injury • Haemodynamically unstable patients • Patients who have undergone damage control procedures • Patients with coagulopathy, hypothermia & acidosis • Patients with severe medical co-morbidities • Patients with burns or severe sepsis. Controlling the blood pressure is important!!
Operative repair of aortic injury is indicated for: • Haemodynamic instability • Large-volume haemorrhage from chest tubes • Contrast extravasation on CT or rapidly expanding mediastinal haematoma • Penetrating aortic injury

Introduction • blunt traumatic aortic transection (TAT) is an uncommon injury • the isthmus • over 85% of cases arriving at hospital alive • transverse tears
Parmley et al. classified the lesions into six groups: • (1) intimal haemorrhage • (2) intimal haemorrhage with laceration • (3) medial laceration • (4) complete laceration of the aorta • (5) false aneurysm formation • (6) peri-aortic haemorrhage have sustained an incomplete non-circumferential lesionlimited to the intima and media where the rupture is contained by the strength of the tunica adventitia and the mediastinal pleura
Immediate or Delayed Surgical Repair • 275 →38 →23 • Emergency thoracotomy and repair should be reserved for the few patients with isolated TAT without any major concomitant injuries. • operative mortality rate: 30% • age and pre-existing cardiac disease • operation immediately or delay longer than 24 h no difference
