Traumatic aortic disruption is an injury associated with high mortality. Early recognition, diagnosis, and surgical repair are important in order to salvage patients with this injury. We report a case in which transesophageal echocardiography, a rapid, minimally invasive diagnostic technique, was used to identify an acute disruption of the proximal descending aorta in a patient with blunt chest trauma.
创伤性主动脉破裂是一种死亡率很高的损伤。为了挽救患有这种损伤的患者,早期识别、诊断和手术修复非常重要。我们报告了一例病例,其中经食管超声心动图这种快速、微创的诊断技术,被用于识别一名钝性胸部创伤患者的降主动脉近端急性破裂。
