Abstract:
Objective To summarize our preliminary experience on diagnosis and treatment of aorta pseudoaneurysms due to deceleration injury. Methods Retrospective analysis was made on 8 cases of aorta pseudoaneurysms due to deceleration injury regarding its clinical findings, imagines and surgical operations or endografting treatment. Results Diagnosis was confirmed by imaging examinations. Among two cases who refused a surgery one died and the other lost follow-up after discharge. Surgery was successful in the remaining six cases including two cases treated by open surgery and four cases by intervensive endografting. Conclusions Aorta pseudoaneurysms due to deceleration injury can be correctly diagnosed by imaging examinations. Aorta pseudoaneurysms should be treated timely since spontaneous cure is almost impossible. Traditional surgical operations is effective, however, endografting is a relatively safe, less traumatic procedure.
