Chronic Traumatic Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm: 40‐Year Follow‐Up. Issue 7 (14th May 2015) - Iddriss, Adam
Abstract Traumatic aortic injury is a rare but potentially lethal condition. Those few patients who survive the acute phase of injury usually progress to form a chronic aneurysm. Few guidelines exist on the management of chronic traumatic aortic aneurysms. Here, we describe the conservative management of a patient with a traumatic thoracic aortic aneurysm who has remained asymptomatic for 40 years. doi: 10.1111/jocs.12573 (J Card Surg 2015;30:586–588)
