Successful Hybrid Treatment of a Traumatic Rupture of the Left Primitive Carotid Artery in a Polytraumatized Patient: A Case Report.

Traumatic injury of the left common carotid is a rare but severe disease, and is an uncommon situation in emergency units. Thoracic aortic lesions are often associated with other injuries, making their treatment challenging. We report the case of a successful hybrid approach to treat this lesion using a total supra aortic vessel debranching and a thoracic endovascular graft to cover the rupture, in a 38-year-old polytraumatized patient. After aortic, abdominal, and orthopedic surgery, the patient recovered well. The 1-year follow-up showed a good result of this hybrid treatment. This technique should be considered in polytraumatized patients with aortic arch lesions.
