abstract="OBJECTIVES: To report our experience with endovascular repair of descending thoracic aorta in patients with acute and chronic traumatic lesions due to blunt chest trauma in last 4 years. MATERIAL AND METHODS: From January 2002 to September 2006, 5 patients underwent endovascular repair of descending thoracic aorta for acute (3 cases) and chronic (2 cases) traumatic lesions due to road traffic accidents (motorcycle crash: 1; car crash: 4). RESULTS: Stent-graft placement was successful in all cases with good early outcomes and without late complications (follow up 3-48 months). CONCLUSION: Endovascular repair of descending thoracic aorta lesions, due to blunt chest trauma, is a feasible and valid alternative to conventional open operation.<p /><p>Language: it</p>",
