A blunt thoracic trauma may cause arterial bleeding requiring operative treatment or endovascular embolization or endovascular aortic stenting. A novel damage control technique to stop such bleeding is presented.
We present the case of an 82-year-old Caucasian man who experienced rib fractures I-VII on the left side and bleeding from damaged intercostal arteries after a blunt thoracic trauma. Emergency thoracotomy was performed.
Effective hemostasis was achieved by using a rolled surgical swab and inserting it against the chest wall next to the aorta with sutures pulled through the intercostal muscles and then sutured to the back side of the patient. The patient died four days after the surgery due to a head injury sustained in the car crash.
钝性胸部创伤可能导致动脉出血,需要进行手术治疗、血管内栓塞或血管内主动脉支架置入术。本文介绍一种用于止血的新型损伤控制技术。
我们报告一例82岁白种男性病例,其在钝性胸部创伤后出现左侧第I - VII肋骨骨折及肋间动脉损伤出血。遂行急诊开胸手术。
通过使用卷状手术拭子,将其靠在主动脉旁的胸壁上,缝线穿过肋间肌并缝合到患者背部,实现了有效的止血。患者术后四天因车祸导致的头部损伤死亡。
