Blunt traumatic thoracic aortic injury in children is very rare. Open surgical repair is the definitive treatment. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for trauma has been performed in adults with good outcomes. Its use has been adopted in pediatric population, and its role is evolving. We report a successful TEVAR in a critically injured 11-year-old boy. To our knowledge, this is the youngest patient to be successfully treated with TEVAR.
儿童钝性创伤性胸主动脉损伤非常罕见。开放性手术修复是明确的治疗方法。胸主动脉腔内修复术(TEVAR)已成功应用于成人创伤患者,且效果良好。其在儿科人群中的应用也在不断发展。我们报告了一例成功接受 TEVAR 治疗的危重症 11 岁男孩。据我们所知,这是接受 TEVAR 治疗的最年轻患者。
