Traumatic rupture of the thoracic aorta is found in 10% to 15% of fatal automobile accidents. Ten to twenty percent of patients initially survive the injury and are seen in the emergency department. A high index of suspicion from history and physical examination and liberal use of aortography are key in diagnosis.
在10%至15%的致命汽车事故中可发现胸主动脉创伤性破裂。10%至20%的患者最初能在受伤后存活，并被送至急诊科。根据病史和体格检查高度怀疑，并广泛使用主动脉造影是诊断的关键。
