Özet: The thoracic aortic rupture in multiple trauma patients is often associated with a sudden deceleration after blunt aortic injury. Patients with blunt aortic injuries have high risks for paraplegia, stroke, and heart, kidney and respiratory failure. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) enables a rapid control of bleeding and ensures rapid blood flow to the internal organs. Herein, we report a female case of a distal rupture of left subclavian artery and totally separated intimal and medial layers of the artery which was successfully treated with TEVAR procedure.
