Blunt chest trauma is associated with a variety of lethal injuries, many of which are responsible for prehospital mortality. Major intrathoracic vascular injury accounts for a vast majority of these fatal injuries. Patients surviving after main pulmonary artery injury are rare. We present the case of a patient who sustained a main pulmonary artery laceration as a result of a blunt motor vehicle crash. He was diagnosed accurately by computed tomography and underwent successful repair.
钝性胸部创伤与多种致命伤相关,其中许多是导致院前死亡的原因。主要的胸内血管损伤占这些致命伤的绝大多数。主肺动脉损伤后存活的患者很少见。我们报告一例因钝性机动车碰撞导致主肺动脉撕裂伤的患者。他通过计算机断层扫描得到准确诊断并接受了成功的修复手术。
