Title: | Blunt abdominal aortic trauma. | Austin Authors: | Frydenberg, Mark;Royle, J P;Hoare, M | Affiliation: | Vascular Surgery Unit, Austin Hospital, Heidelberg, Victoria. | Issue Date: | 1-May-1990 | Publication information: | Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery; 60(5): 347-50 | Abstract: | Due to its well protected position within the abdomen, blunt injuries to the abdominal aorta are uncommon. A review of previous reports in the literature, together with four new cases, are presented here. Motor car accidents are the most common cause of this injury, especially if seat belts are worn. Associated gastrointestinal injuries did not lead to any increased mortality; however, delay in the diagnosis was a significant factor in the deaths of several patients. Prompt recognition and early surgical management are essential in the treatment of this problem. | Gov't Doc #: | 2334357 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/11657 | Journal: | Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2334357 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Accidents, Traffic Adult Aged Amputation Aorta, Abdominal.injuries Aortography Blood Vessel Prosthesis Embolism.etiology.radiography.surgery Endarterectomy Female Humans Leg Male Middle Aged Seat Belts.adverse effects Wounds, Nonpenetrating.complications.etiology.radiography |
