TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - Management of pediatric aortic pseudoaneurysm due to penetrating trauma JO - American surgeon A1 - Mehl, Steven C. A1 - Moturu, Anoosha A1 - Miranda, Jorge A1 - Mills, Joseph A1 - Rosenfeld, Eric A1 - Stapleton, Gary A1 - Naik-Mathuria, Bindi SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - Due to the increasing frequency of pediatric penetrating trauma, pediatric surgeons need to be prepared to evaluate and manage complex penetrating injuries. In this report, we discuss the endovascular management of a traumatic aortic pseudoaneurym and subsequent bullet retrieval following penetrating chest trauma in a child. The key to successful management included multidisciplinary decision making and use of an expandable covered stent generally used for management of aortic coarctation.
