Blunt thoracic aortic injury treated with thoracic endovascular aortic repair in hybrid emergency room: A case report

Background: Hybrid emergency rooms (ERs) allow computed tomography (CT) scanning, interventional radiology, and surgery all in the same suite. Severe trauma patients with blunt thoracic aortic injury (BTAI) require rapid diagnosis and treatment. Hybrid ERs allow the potential for clinicians to imple...

description Background: Hybrid emergency rooms (ERs) allow computed tomography (CT) scanning, interventional radiology, and surgery all in the same suite. Severe trauma patients with blunt thoracic aortic injury (BTAI) require rapid diagnosis and treatment. Hybrid ERs allow the potential for clinicians to implement multiple therapeutic procedures, including thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), for these types of conditions without the need to transport the patients. Case presentation: A 35-year-old man sustained multiple injuries after a motor vehicle accident and was transferred to our hospital in shock status. CT revealed a grade IV BTAI rupturing into the thoracic cavity and pelvic fracture. Soon after preperitoneal pelvic packing and transcatheter arterial embolization for pelvic fracture, TEVAR was performed in the hybrid ER without transporting the patient. The patient was transferred to a rehabilitation hospital on postoperative day 41. Conclusion: Hybrid ERs enable clinicians to perform all life-saving procedures, including stent grafting for traumatic patients with aortic injuries, in the same place.
