Penetrating injuries of the aorta are rare and highly lethal; very few patients are able to reach the hospital alive. We report a case of penetrating injury into the ascending aorta with the arrow still in situ, shot by a bow in a tribal region of India. The wound of entry into the aorta was sealed by the arrow itself. The patient came to us walking and supporting the arrow with his left hand. He was operated on, and the arrow was successfully removed from the aorta.
升主动脉穿透性损伤罕见且致命性极高;极少数患者能够活着到达医院。我们报告了印度一个部落地区发生的一例用弓箭射中的升主动脉穿透性损伤病例,箭仍留在原位。进入主动脉的伤口被箭本身封闭。患者是步行来的,用左手支撑着箭。他接受了手术,成功地将箭从主动脉中取出。
